    TH-42PWD6UY 42-IN Panny and Yamaha DVR-S100 HTIB HDTV?

    Gabriel, I had to travel for a few days, but returned with my cables sitting at my door. I set them up without too much trouble. I only get five HDTV channels through Adelphia - but they are pretty amazing. I love them. One more question, of course. Four channels are in 4:3 format - with...

    TH-42PWD6UY 42-IN Panny and Yamaha DVR-S100 HTIB HDTV?

    Gabriel, this is getting to be an involved thread. I like it. I can't use the 5 RCA cable because it is woefully too short. Once I have the VGA to 3 RCA cord going from the Adelphia Cable box, what do I need to buy now that goes from back from the panny to my yamaha. Can I use my normal...

    You're going to have to fix this url to make it work: w w w . adelphiasocal.com/hdtv/hdtv_images/dct6200_back.jpg This is a picture of a similar unit, except that mine has firewire and DVI inputs, both turned off. Let me know if you can't make out the colors or labels. Here is what...

    Gabriel, I don't have a server to host a picture to. The cord is I think RCA to RCA with five cables all labeled video and as I said, two red, one white, blue, and siver.

    Gabriel, Man you are making me a HTF believer. I'm going to order the last suggested cable right away. But of course I have a follow up question: With the new HDTV cable box, Adelphia gave me a five cable cord. The colors are two reds, blue, green and silver. What is this and should I...

    Damn..you were right. Adelphia didn't activate the DVI output yet. So my option is to 1. Connect my Yamaha to my Panny via S-video or composite for DVD movies. You'll have to experiment to see which one you like better (I'm guessing s-video). So the Svideo goes from the yamaha to the...

    Gabriel, Do you have a suggestion for an inexpensive place to buy component cabling? I need at least 15 feet worth :frowning:

    TH-42PWD6UY 42-IN Panny and Yamaha DVR-S100 HTIB HDTV?

    Gabriel, Thanks so much again. I'm loving this advice...as it is very hard to get from anyone else. So it looks like I'm going with the DVI route. The Adelphia box DVI output is enabled. So just to make this clear, the DVI cable goes from the Adelphia box to the panny directly...then...

    Gabriel, that is an absolutely excellent reply. You are right on all counts. To summarize: I can either connect the panny and the yamaha with component cables or with a DVI. Here are two follow up questions: 1. With option 1, I use the component cable from the Adelphia box to the pannny...

    I just upgraded to HDTV with Adelphia and can't for the life of me get any signal with my yamaha HTIB and Panny Plasma screen. I guess the most simple question is ..can I get HDTV using this set up? Thanks!
