Very elementary connection question... - Blu-ray Forum

Mobjack · 05-20-2009, 02:14 PM

Ok, I finally decided on my system. Here is what I am getting.

Samsung LN52B750 LCD TV
Panasonic DMP-BD60K

I will be getting the Onkyo HT-S7100 later.

My question is this, what is the best way to hook up the Blu to the LCD?

Then, once I get the Onkyo, what would be the best way to hook everything through that?

Thanks in advance for any advise.

HDMI cables are your best bet -- for both scenarios.

Look to Monoprice or Blue Jeans Cables for good inexpensive cables.

So the HDMI will carry video and audio?

Yes

Good choice in TV, btw.

That seems too easy...and I like it.

Thanks!

Have you bought it yet? If not, Amazon is having a helluva deal right now on Samsung Blu-ray players. It's $125 off the 1600 or 3600 when you buy 4 movies. That comes out to about $180 for a good player and 4 Blu-ray movies (if you go with the 1600).I'm a CNET desciple and they like the Samsung BD-P1600 more than the Panasonic DMP-BD60 for its speed, internal memory, WiFi and Netflix streaming. They rank the 3600 as "Excellent", right up there with the PS3.
