What HDMI cable for a Sony BDP S-300 Blu Ray player?

Question

I just bought a Sony BDP S-300 Blu Ray dvd player for my fiance's birthday. Since I can't ask him (lol), I wanted to know which cable I should be buying to connect the player to the tv (We have a Sony Bravia). We have a monster cable that we never used when we bought our Sony surround sound syst (which will now be obsolete since I just bought this!), but I don't think it could be used for this. What do you think? Do I need a pass thru w/the box that can switch between other HD devices AND a cable or just the cable? Thanks for your help guys!!

Answer 1

Use the HDMI and check to see if your surround system has a digital input. If it does jus connect that and your all set.

Answer 2

If you have the time, you can get high quality HDMI cables online for a lot less $

Check out monoprice.com. The link below is a 6 ft. cable but they have other lengths if you need a longer one.

Answer 4

You can pretty much use any HDMI (version 1.3 or 1.3a) cable if you want the best signal possible, but don't be fooled into spending a ton of money for a brand name cable like "Monstercable" etc.  The fact is, HDMI is a purely digital signal and thus they cables are much less likely to suffer any data integrity issues, so unless  there is a serious problem with the cable, pretty much all HDMI cables are the same.

Because of this, you can literally spend less than $10 and your picture will be flawless.  I highly recommend any cable from Monoprice.com because not only are they high quality, but they are inexpensive as well.
