I do agree with Tom also about cables, when I picked up my new Sony with hdmi output I was shown 12 and 20 foot hdmi - hdmi cables near and way over a hundred bucks. I paid $39 for a very substantial 20'er. No video interference or noise etc. I think careful selection of cables is of utmost importance. But some cables are the eqivilent of spinner hubcaps on a new car.......
