Need help please (found a MAS7.1switcher) PDP-6010FD to Rotel 1066 with HDMI cable

geez, you'd think someone who has seen so many plasmas that they could definitively state power conditioning "facts" about them would know the answer to this question...


you have two choices...


1) get a component to hdmi adaptor similar to this one ...


2) just connect via component to the 6010...


option 2 would be easiest and cheapest... i don't see any reason to use option 1...

Thanks for the info.


The reason I'm asking is I never encountered hdmi cables or connections before and therefore I never read about or paid any attention to them.

So yesterday My son come over and helped me mount my new Pioneer PDP-6010FD 60" Plasma. By the way, I purchased the plasma from @invisiondisplays.com and Roman and his staff are the best people I ever dealt with when buying home electronics. First we took down the 50" pioneer

PDP 5040- FD and When I disconnected the old dvi cable I said ohoh something is wrong here. I forgot my new plasma uses hdmi.


Before I started my research I posted this question for any feedback. Now I understand and I will buy a Zektor MAS7.1 audio/hdmi switcher. the unit also has IIR learning allows the MAS7.1 to work with virtually any remote control! All discrete codes are supported as well which will make it easy to program it to my Universal mx-3000.

You should be able to use a simple DVI to HDMI adapter on the end of your present cable if you're not using the HDMI audio.

As I said before this hdmi cabling is new to me. By using a simple DVI to HDMI adapter for the plasma when watching tv and regular dvds wouldn't I also need to run a separate hdmi cable from the plasma to my bluray player?

If this is correct I would like to use my mx300 for switching?


Also, please elaborate on the hdmi audio subject because I'm unclear on this subject.


Thanks for the reply!
