Newbie help - DVD recorders and HDMi etc
Hi All
I am a real novice. I have just bought a new DVD recorder - the Panasonic DMR E227EB and a TH-50PX70 plasma TV. I will hook them together using an HDMi cable. But I have some questions .... - what sort of DVDs are best to use in this recorder? I will basiaclly use it to transfer all of the kids Disney videos (about 50 of them) to DVD, record stuff of Sky to watch on teh train/palne etc. - what sort of HDMi do I buy. Someone mentioned I need version 1.3 but where from? Do I just buy the 7 pound ones from eBay? - can I dasiy chain the HDMi like you do with with Scart?? My TV only has two HDMi inputs and I want to use a Sky HD box (one day) and PS3 and the DVD R Thanks all C |

Version 1.3 refers to the socket not the cable, as this should be the same HDMI for all versions.
As it is a digital cable im told the quality should be the same regardless of cost, but im not 100% sure. You can get HDMI switches http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tv...%20Switch.html |

You are aware that commercial tapes are copy protected, and your DVD recorder won't copy them?.
