Hi, I am attempting to set up my first Home Cinema System and need some advice on connecting up my newly acquired equipment. I should make it clear I am NEW to this.. and any advice or suggestions will be taken on board. My items are : Samsung le3287 LCD TV - new Samsung DVD HD870 player - new Panasonic SC-MT1 Home Cinema - 2nd hand My question/dilemma is how can I ( or is it possible at all..? ) connect/play the Samsung DVD player through the Panasonic system?. Obviously I want the benefit of the HDMI on the samsung for picture clarity ( the Panasonic player only has Scart and S-video outputs.) and the Dolby 5.1 speakers of the Panasonic. Maybe I need a different/ seperate AV amp? My budget is more or less at it's limit tho I realise good interconnects are very important. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
