I see many are getting the PS3 as an alternative for BD playing. Where can I get a good deal for the PS3 around Klang Valley?

Thanx

Need help on cable connection for my new TH42PY800. I connect the S-video cable in the Monitor Out of my Onkyo TX-DS575X to the S-video input on the plasma TV but I don't get any video signal at all. I tried both AV3 and AV4 S-video jack and still can't get any signal. If I use the normal video cable I can get the signal.

If I connect the S-video cable directly from the DVD player, I can get the video signal. Does anyone know what else I need to get this to work?

Thanx

I didn't see any "Auto" option on my 42PY800. It goes from 16:9, 4:3, Zoom 1, Zoom 2 and Zoom 3. Sometime I see also a option called "Just" but not sure what is it for.

I haven't connect the plasma TV to my PC yet. Will do this over this weekend.

I have 10 feet viewing distance also and I still think it is slightly too near for my 42" plasma TV. If you are going for 50" then you'll need to increase your viewing distance

I turn it own the whole night and I just use the ceiling fan to cool it. So far didn't feel the "heat" at all.

I'll know if it hurt my electricity bill when I got mine later this week.

I have about 11 feet of sliding window too. Don't see any reflection from my plasma TV.

My plasma TV is about 4 feet from the windows.

Hmm, got to check out this CATS thingy on my py800.

So far I didn't feel any jerky motion on my py800h yet. Maybe my eye is not that sensitive to jerky motion

I am also using a 3 year old DVD player but I routed the video vie component cables to my AVR and then use the AVR's HDMI out to upscale the picture to my plasma TV. The PQ is so much better compared to a direct connection from the DVD player to the plasma TV.

However I did noticed that the upscale PQ of Astro is not as good as the direct S-Video connection from the astro decoder to the plasma TV. I'll have to experiment a bit more to get better PQ from Astro.

I am currently considering the PS3 as my source for BD. At least it can double up as a game console as well.

OK, that's another consideration.

Just got a Onkyo 805 so need some time to convince HM that PS3 is another good investmnet

That's a tough choice since HM is already using Media Center for her home entertainment stuffs including recording of Astro program. I'll try to convince her again closer to Christmas time.

Cheers.
