No need to worry because the 600Hz sub-field feature of your plasma display is done inside the TV. The video signal from your video source is what matters when the “refresh rates” are the issue. The TVs flash the pixels at increased rates — much faster than the source — to produce a better looking picture.

The importance of having a quality HDMI cable cannot be more pressing: as features expand, data rates increase and HD content becomes standard, inferior cables will keep you from getting the most from your technology. The idea behind Monster Cable HDMI products is to design them for what’s coming tomorrow…the likely advances of the near future. Invest in a quality cable now and save yourself time and money in the future.

Always maximize value by getting the best product you can afford.

The specifications for the cable only say “60/120hz”. Will that only show on the TV between 60/120hz instead of the 600hz that it is capable of?

Without specific model numbers I can’t say for sure. Ideally each component will be able to pass audio and video together — the whole point of HDMI. If your Onkyo receiver passes both audio and video then yes, one cable from your receiver to your HDTV will work. I assume you want audio to be passed because you won’t be using the stereo system (you do have a speaker system connected to your receiver, right?) every time you watch TV. Also, be sure to have the settings set properly for audio and video. Depending on the audio and video source and its recorded format, changes in quality and quantity can happen downstream. This information will be in your users manuals.

Just bought a Sharp 52″ LCD, Panasonic Blu-Ray player, and 5.1 Onkyo reciever. My understanding is that I can plug everything via HDMI into the receiver and have just one HDMI output to the TV. Other than XBOX360, is this true? Will the receiver pass Video IN HD as well as the sound?

If your TV is an HDTV it will have at least one set of component jacks. While not included in the PS3 box, we sell the cable kits that enable full HD from the PS3 using component connections.

Component + stereo: http://www.4electronicwarehouse.com/products/monster/ps3-cva-10.html
Component + surround: http://www.4electronicwarehouse.com/products/monster/ps3-cvfo-10.html

If your TV is not HD, there is no way to get an HD picture, but you can still run the PS3 through the TV using any of the connections present, provided you have the cables (eg: s-video, component, composite, etc.).

Use the HDMI input for your Blu-Ray player and use component video for your hd-dvr video then use the optical for audio. Cable/Satellite max broadcast resolution is 1080i, component video is capable of high definition 1080i. This way all of your systems can still be connected and all be in high definition.

I was wondering what is the best way to hook it all up?
i was thinking i have a mc800 monster cable that i would run from the blueray to the tv an 600 monter cable to run from the HD DVR receiver to the tv an an 600 monster cable from the theatre system to the tv an a optical cable from the blueray to the theatre system. Would that work fine?”

My theatre system has 1 HDMI input an 1 HDMI output so how would i do it that way i do have an optical cable aswell

I am not sure if your Home Theater System has HDMI inputs or not, but if it does you want to connect everything to that so you can experience surround sound with your Blu-Ray and your HD-DVR.
Again if your home theater system has hdmi inputs, here is how you should set it up.
1) Connect HD-DVR with HDMI to Home Theater Receiver HDMI input
2) Connect Blu-Ray with HDMI to Home Theater Receiver HDMI input
3) Connect Home Theater Receiver Output to TV input with HDMI
This way you could control everything from the Home Theater System instead of having to use 3 different remotes by connecting everything to the TV.

What you will need for this setup.
-3 HDMI Cables – one for the TV output, one for the HD-DVR and one for the Blu-Ray
I suggest getting two Monster MC 800HD HDMI cables, one for the Home Theater Output to the TV and one for the Blu-Ray to the Home Theater. I would then suggets a Monster MC 500 HDMI Cable for the HD-DVR to the Home Theater system. I have provided links to each cable if you are interested in buying.
