I would like to know is it that all HDTV only output sound channel in optical mode in stereo?
I am in the dilemma of choosing TV which can output a proper sound channel from my TV to receiver in surround sound as my receiver doesn't support HDMI.

Furthermore with the recent black level issues regarding Panasonic Plasma, would it be a reason to avoid Panasonic for the time being until it's fixed? I have to be quite hurry for my purchase, if possible by March. What's the other option if not for Panasonic, budget around RM6k for a 40"+ panel

According to pana, the issue is solve in the 2010 models. Anyway, I don't think the black level issue will be as bad as everyone thought and I believe most people will not even notice it.

most TV does not support 5.1 sound.
Your AVR does not have HDMI, can always use optical or coaxial to connect mar from the decoder/media player/BD player etc.

next best thing for Plasma 40" at RM6k?
Try look for any leftover's Pioneer 428...should be around that price now....
