AtomSmasher:
I usually buy my cables from www.partsexpress.com , although it looks like its $8.80 for a 6' digital coax, so shardian's link would be cheaper in this instance.

The coax cable just looks like a single RCA cable. In fact, you can actually just use an RCA cable rather than getting an actual digital audio cable, though the sound will supposedly be compromised. Never tested it myself. I would just see how many devices you have that support digital audio, and then see how many digital audio inputs you have on your receiver. If you have, for example, two optical inputs and two coax inputs, use whatever your devices support. If your DVD player has a coax digital audio output, use it, and that frees up an optical for another device.

You can't just use a regular rca cable on digital coax - I tried to skimp this way too. The receiver didn't recognize the connection. I used digital coax for a few years, then decided to try out the optical since I had bought a dvd player that supported it. I can tell you I heard no difference whatsoever. If I even had to venture a guess, I would say the digital coax might have sounded better.

Um, yes you can. This is how mine is currently hooked up, and I get Dolby 5.1 through it as well as DTS.

They even carry a 6' wii component cable for $6.40.
Monster Cable quality at 1/1000th the price.

I was under the impression that plasma had burn in problems, especially with game systems. Is that not the case anymore?
FrizzleFried:
For me, I like DLP over LCD or plasma...but if you absolutely need a thin unit (to hang on a wall or something), i'd go LCD over plasma any day.
