“Go out and buy component cables now, you won’t regret it.”
why? rca’s have served well for like 20 years. (my) dvd player is not hd, snaggle tooth, hdmi, whathaveyou. if i use an adapter, rca to hdmi, what have i gained?
actually, i think i use s-vid + rca sound…
the loopback for sound from tv to dvd (home theater system) is limited to rca inputs anyway as well…
the only improvement i really want for my home entertainment is a good remote. all in one, smart/programmable, ergonomic, with forward and back buttons to change channels like the forward and back buttons on a web browser. or a “favorites” type button that lets you flip through your most watched channels.
edit:
the plan is to rip and convert dvd’s and play them off a computer anyway. so the compression will kinda kill whatever bennies new cables or hdvd provide anyway…
