Good answer, TQ. To sum up,

1) For DVD play, I am now at a disadvantage coz I cannot enjoy the upscaling feature and the quality of HDMI as oppose to component. SO, u mean getting a new dvd player with HDMI out will certainly improve much on my plasma PQ rite?

2) P/s help me to do review on Monster S-Video cable selling here. Will it make a big impact on astro PQ than the compliement s-video cable from Panny ?

1) Your TV also has an internal upscaler or it wouldn't be able to fill the screen. The Panny has a good upscaler, so don't feel too disadvantaged at not having a HDMI DVD. If you're sitting over 10ft, you won't really see a difference and may regret squeezing out an extra RM400 for a new player. Of course, if you already plan to buy a new one, then by all means go ahead. Just that not having one doesn't mean your TV will suck. Plasmas are very forgiving of the source unlike LCDs.

2) I'm using Monster THX, my mom is using the panny freebie. The Monster is a little sharper and brighter. The Panny freebie is still highly watchable. Monster is nice to have if you got some extra budget but not essential to enjoying your Plasma. That's why so many forumers like Plasma. It's highly forgiving of the source and integrates into your existing system well without needing substantial upgrading.

Looks like I will be ordering from Futureshop soon too.
What you guys think of those thin IXOS speaker cable at futureshop... the cheapest and probably the most suitable for surround speakers that I can find.

Maybe to get the Chord HDMI also, but is it really worth it aside from 'Yeah! I have Chord HDMI'?
I fail to see difference between my free Panny HDMI and Giraffe.... or maybe both are at different level.... or simply beacuse of the many points discussed before = simply digital!

Ha! Found this out the hard way too. My BD30 flashing U73 error code, which means HDMI problem, if playing Music CD while TV off.
But if play with TV first switched on, and turn off later while playing, then ok.

Maybe shud connect optical/digital directly to 'CD' in, for listeing to music CD.
Ok ka? Will try...
