i got an elite , so there is Optical/RCA Audio adapter  and HDMI cable.

if i connect the console to tv with just HDMI cable, do i need the optical/rca audio adapter?

the normal ways to connect to tv using the hd cables rite red,yellow,white etc....yellow-video red and white-audio...if im using the hdmi cables is it include both function video and audio with just one cable? just connect the hdmi cables console and tv then walla ( video and audio )

cause im planning to get the plasma tv next week...which plasma tv is the best?

if the hdmi cables far way better then the hd av cable..then i will just use the  hdmi once for audio and video...

which is better man? plasma or lcd
