For your info HDMI is a blardy cable...and what so great abt it is it is KING right now.
In order to play HD stuff or 1080p stuff with best quality you need a HDMI cable.
HDMI is a just a cable bro....

Remember the good old days when its was VHS and VCD?, the yellow RCA rules, then come the DVD, S-Video and Component cable rules, now its Bluray and HD files...HDMI reign supreme.

Who know in a few years time technology is so advance, players will be able to pump 1540p. Then maybe they will change the HDMI cables to something else with fancy name.

For you, use a HDMI cable to connect the DAV-DZ870KW to the LCD TV.

What those guys in the forum meant abt DAV-DZ870KW not supporting HDMI is only meant for advance users.
If you wanna know, the member wanna connect a Media player (similar like a Bluray player) that is capable of output 1080p and also HD audio to the DAV-DZ870KW. Only thing is the DAV-DZ870KW doesn't accept "HDMI INPUTS".

What you need is Outputs, not inputs, so the DAV-DZ870KW should do well.

FYI, Bluray is the ultimate now, then comes HD media files (aka BDRip), then only comes the DVD.
Upscaling is a overhype thing...Upscaled DVD will never reach the levels of BDRip.

If I were you, if you want the technology to last longer than a year, I get a real AVR component system with a media player like  Popcorn Hour C-200 or Dune player.

u r very nice n patient....i get what u mean now....but i want to know the outcome of sony DAV-DZ870KW. do i really get HDMI quality with this model coz other says this model don't support HDMI right? if so, which model should i buy to get the HDMI output quality or closest quality to it instead of blu-ray?? (within RM2500 range)

if possible, i will buy one which can last me longer instead changing one a year later for better quality....haha....tq!

Been there done that, yes, the images are superior...I agree...but what I didn't like was DVDs dun last...even if I use slow burning using Nero, the most the DVD last is 6 months without skipping or freezing. I keep the DVD in DVD box and stand it vertical, DVDR is Sony and Imation. Also dun last...end of the day, i bought myself a media player and happy till now......but media player also has its problem....Hardisk also dun last!!..so there is no escaping spending more money on stuff 

wow!! that's a good idea. is the philip BDP3000 with good quality and function? and the Pioneer z777 or z787?? better then sony?? haha....another optio for me....tq!
