Hi
While I'm not bad techy-wise I've trawled the forums and am getting myself a little tied up on buying a Panasonic PWD7 and home cinema set-up. So at the risk of being flamed or told to search the forums some more, I'd be grateful for a little advice!
Just got married and moving into a new place, so have no gear and am absolutely starting from scratch. I flirted with DLP for a little bit, seduced by HD etc, but budget and other factors have led me back to good ol' Plasma. Need my set-up to come in at about £1500 complete to keep the missus sweet, so this has led me to the inevitable choice - Pana PWD7.
Richer Sounds have it at £999 (with optional 3yr cover at a further £99) so I'd probably go for that, though this doesn't include the pedestal stand I don't think. It seems to have gone quiet with the MAW Power buy deal above but if anyone knows of a better deal to Richer's, it would be appreciated.
We will need to connect up Sky (though it may be Freeview at first until finances allow!), DVD player/sound system, video recorder and PS2.
What boards/leads will I require to connect all these for optimal PQ?
Also, can anyone also recommend a decent, relatively inexpensive DVD player and sound system, and the connections I'll require for those.
Cheapest sources for all this gear would be appreciated as well.
Many thanks
Barry
