And in terms of speakers cable ( i need a length of around 14 mtrs from tv to hifi rack) does size determine quality of sounds etc and also i heard that each speaker has to have the same length cable or the surround sound wont be 100 % balanced?? Cheers Troy Hi Short answers: yes, no and no Longer answers: As long as you have a receiver with a 'HDMI up conversion' (most recent ones do) then any analog inputs (say a DVD or wii) will be converted and sent over the HDMI. If your LCD and receiver support audio return channel (again the latest ones do) then the same HDMI can bring sound from tv channels back to the receiver. On the speaker cables I am sure you can find plenty of audiophiles who will swear black and blue that their $200 per meter cable is totally worth it, but in my opinion (and science) any reasonable cable will be fine. Check out the range The Cable Connection for example (is the cheque in the mail Matt ? ) Electrical signals travel at a significant percentage of the speed of light (300000 km/sec) - there is no way that speaker cable length can make an appreciable difference. Most receivers also have calibration systems that can account for the speaker distance from the listener (the speed of sound is much slower) but even then this doesn't make a huge difference, because the system will be calibrated for one spot but people sit all around the room.
