Bruce,
I would say that it is that particular model TV, I would suggest going with another manufacturer. Here is a Link to our Televisions and Projectors page.

Will,
HDMI delivers digital audio which is why you have better sound. Just one of the benefits of HDMI.

I have a Panasonic 50″Plasma 1080p and a Blu-ray disc player. My question is, I am using an HDMI MONSTER CORD(700) AND I have regular stereo and speakers hooked up to play.I turned off my t.v. speakers. Does my HDMI cord filters through my stereo speakers because all of a sudden, my stereo speakers sound Better.I imagine this is the HDMI working through my stereo speakers. Just two speakers, no surround yet.

Bob,
It is quite simple to assign the inputs, I don’t know what kind of receiver your friend has but the Yamaha manual will tell you exactly what you need to do. To answer your second question, yes the HDMI input will accept the HDMI audio signal, then you would run an HDMI out for the video. If for some reason you wanted to run audio out to the TV (which I don’t know why you would) you would then have to run an additional audio cable.

So to clarify, the HDMI inputs will accept HDMI audio and you will hear the audio through the speakers you have connected to your receiver. If you need any HDMI cables, here is a link to our HDMI Cable page.

how hard is it to assign inputs on a yahama RX-V863 RECEIVER? I was looking at a friend of mine manual and it made no sense to me. also does the HDMI inputs have audio also or do you have to go to another outlet perhaps optical or whatever is available and assign it to that outlet?
thanks

Carol, A few things before I answer your questions. I see that your TV is capable of 1080p, thats great but the only way you will see 1080p is on a Blu-Ray or HD-DVD player. Nothing else currently produces a 1080p signal and cable or satellite will probably not broadcast in 1080p for quite some time. You will get 720p and 1080i on your High Definition Channels depending on the station. As you have already seen 720p and 1080i produce a very good picture. Also you mention something about male to female and female to male HDMI cables. The cables you will be looking for are going to have a male end on each side which is what almost all HDMI cables have. Your TV will have a female input and so will your components so you need cables that have 2 male ends like the ones pictured in the article above. To answer your first question about your DVD player, an HDMI cable would improve your picture on the DVD player but would not get it to high definition quality. If you are going to use an HDMI cable to connect your DVD player you will not need the Monster Ultra High Speed HDMI cable because your DVD player will never put out high enough bandwidth for it to be of any significance. I suggest you get the Monster Standard Speed HDMI cable, this will work just as well for your DVD player and will save you some money. Having said that, I highly recommend you get an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray Disc Player because the picture will be absolutely stunning on your TV. If you were to get one of these systems, then I suggest that you get the Monster Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable to better handle the higher bandwidth. You say that your analog channels are pixelated when you are close to them. This could be two different things. 1)This might be the way your TV reproduces an analog signal. 2) You may have a low quality cable connecting your Box to your TV which causes errors in your picture. I suggest that you get the Monster Ultra High Speed HDMI Cable for your HD cable box because it will improve your picture on both regular and HD channels. This particular cable is built to work with any high definition signal now and in the future because it can handle the highest bandwidth available through HDMI. This is basically a one time purchase because you will never need another HDMI cable. If the performance cababilities of this cable are ever exceeded by future generations of HDMI, Monster will replace it at no charge. So even if cable companies start broadcasting in a 1080p high bandwidth signal, this cable will work no matter what. I am not guaranteeing that it will fix your pixelation problem (although it could if your current cable is the problem) but it will improve your picture quality. I have provided links to the cables that I suggested, click on them to go to their product pages. You can buy them directly from us. I also provided links to our HD-DVD and Blu-Ray Disc Players just in case you wanted to browse through them.

In reagrds to your response on January 22 2008 at 3:42 PM I am writing another post to explain in more detail my questions regarding HDMI cables. I own a Sony Bravia Model KDL-52W3000 TV set. I had a digital cable box originally then I bought the Sony and had the cable company install a Hi Def cable box to enable true HD 1080P according to the book. I understand that 1080I is as close as it gets which is fine. It also has other features such as Tru 24P Cinema,all the bells and whisles. I am running also a Samsung DVD player Model DVD-V4600. It is not HI DEF just HI-FI. So I am guessing I would also need to upgrade to a Sony Blu Ray or another HD DVD player. Or is it just sufficient to get great video/audio quality from HDMI cables. I notice that the only channles that come in crystal clear are the ones shown in HI Def. The analog channels seem to pixelate and tile when you are close or within 2 to 3 feet of TV. So will the Super high speed HDMI Cables rectify the problem ? Also I see alot of HDMI cables that are male to female and female to male ??? Would love to purchase the ultimate cable for the ultimate viewing pleasure. Your articles listed on your prior answers were truly helpful as well.

Carol,
Glad you are thinking about utilizing your TV’s HDMI capability. I know you have the HDTV but you didn’t say anything about the other components you have. HDMI will give your TV a high definition connection from another component like a cable/satellite box, Blu-Ray Disc Player or a gaming console like the Playstation 3. You need to make sure that your other devices have HDMI outputs, if they don’t then you won’t be able to use HDMI but will be able to use other High Definition connections.

When you figure out what you will be using HDMI for (cable box, blu-ray,etc.) write another post on this article telling me exactly what you have and I will be able to assist you on what to get for your system. You may also want to read our other articles that discuss HDMI to get a better understanding of HDMI (How to get the most out of your HDTV Part 1: The Basics and How to get the most out of your HDTV Part 2: Connecting Your HD System. Hope to hear from you soon.
