I use a DVI/HDMI cable for my Sanyo Z2 projector to my Panny S97S DVD. My Panny has HDMI and the projector has DVI only. I use an optical cable for digital sound from my receiver to my panny...

What's up with the HDMI's chincy connection anyway? I had to get an HDMI/DVI adapter a few days ago because the old cable box had DVI only while the new one has HDMI only and yours truly only had a DVI cable, the doggone adapter wants to continuously fall out of the set top box if you look at it the wrong way.

I'm with you on that Rick, I never understood why they didn't have a clip or locking mechanism to secure those bad boys. Heck, I have some component cables that I practically have to use pliars to get off, their that tight...

Tight is good! 
Actually I really like the way the DVI connect has the two thumb screws, too bad the HDMI connect isn't like that.

DVI is "supposed" to be better because it is all digital. But, with a good component setup, I doubt that you can really see any difference.

Ron I use a combination of component cables and HDMI/DVI cables and really can't tell much of any audio/video difference.
