HDMI is a digital interface. Component video is an analog

quality of the A/D converters, and the quality of your cables, you
may find either to provide a better image.

Generally, in an all digital train, you would use a high quality
(NOT monster) HDMI interface, especially at higher resolutions, to
avoid D/A-A/D loss.

Drop the vernacular and explain in common terms...so he understands.
Not so you can express or impress!

I thought I did that, "Bob". Which part are you having trouble
understanding?

I'm not...but HE wants it explained...so, please aim a bit lower. ^L^

OK so what is a "High quality" HDMI cable consist of? They all say they are
the best thing since sliced bread and the prices are all over the place.

If the picture looks fine, just use the component cables. I've hooked
my TV up to 2 different inputs using component and HDMI at the same
time. I have switched back and forth and I don't see any noticeable
difference. HDMI is just more convenient. 1 cable vs. 5.

Also, I have to use component cables, because for some stupid reason
the HDMI output on my HD DVR overrides the digital audio output that I
need for my stereo receiver.
