but like the one u selling, s video monster, tat one ibelip got diffence over cap ayam s video

How about the one Digitaltech sales one - HDMI cable??? hmm.gif hmm.gif

Good or not......if that one directly connect to AVR....will the sound better than digital cable (eg. Coaxial or optical)
and later from AVR to TV

Still not decide yet...dunno want to order or not.....cost ..a bit high end HDMI cable hmm.gif hmm.gif hmm.gif

well, if ur player has hdmi, use hdmi lor, one cable will do, save the hassle, no need additional optical/coaxial cable

I have one cable already...but now the HDMI cable connect directly to TV and DVD player now connect using coaxial to AVR.

If using HDMI to AVR, then I need another one la......one to AVR and one out from AVR to TV...

Thinking want to invest or not..if no sound different.....

Remember this is just DVD only......the best DVD I can get is just 6.1 channel which DTS ES

Fentanyl, I bought my cables from FutureShop.co.uk, very good service, your order will be shipped the next day. thumbup.gif

I've tried to order from Cable-Shop.co.uk, they took 3 to even process, by the fourth day, the transaction in my Paypal still pending. So I decided to cancel.

ALPS2008, after you selected your shipping address outside of EU, the 17.5% VAT will be voided, so it will be cheaper. Before that, or before you login, the price is with VAT.

Ah...thanks Aiman04......for the info

any choice of cable do you recommned??? I am not sure the price...wanna to look for HDMI and subwoofer cable

okie....I have one Girafe HDMI cable(free when I brought the tV) and another one is cap ayam HDMI cable (free when I purchased Pioneer DVD).......

May be I need to try the Cap ayam cable first also after I get my new AVR???
Now from DVD =>HDMI (Girafe one ) => TV ; Coaxial => AVR old unit
Thinking DVD=> HDMI (Girafe)=> AVR(New Unit) => HDMI (cap ayam)=>TV....see any different in picture... hmm.gif

Then I need to on-hold first....Anyway, I will keep on survey laugh.gif

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!
*
I am using the girafe HDMI cable also, last sat night (after test my AVR for 3-4 hours), suddenly, my audio signal suddenly flashing...my AVR panel always changing from different surround....waa....I so scare initially....Later I switch my HDMI audio to Digital Coaxial Cable...but still maintain the video for HDMI....everything solve.....later the sound become ok......and video also still go through my AVR...Do not know why....really

Today, I switch everythng to HDMI, become normal back.....really puzzle me

1) may be the audio signal disturb through HDMI cable.....hm.....
2) My new AVR have problem....I don't think so la....do tell me this ...keeeee

I believe (1) will be the problem...keeee .....I am thinking to run my AVR again tommorow for 5-6 hours again cause on leave.....and wait for my new cable to arrive from futureshop...hurray...
