Ok so I took all those cables from the HD Cable Box and put them into my DVD/VHS Player + Recorder.
Now anytime I turn on my DVD Player I have to get out of the HDMI2 Section and just go to the TV Section....so I do that now when I go the Input options on thePlayer/Recorder it says AV1, AV2, DV & Channel 3.
Channel 3 shows what I was watching but not in the HDMI mode because like I mentioned earlier I have to get out of that to get to my DVD Player/Recorder. Sonow it shows what I was watching but not in HD and those Input Options I mentioned before all are Black Screens and nothing happens.

Do any of you plasma owners have problems with burn in? I finally realized that plasma has better picture quality but I'm just scared about the burn in.I'm planning on getting the panasonic TH46PZ80.

I want to get a plasma as well but the burn in is what is keeping from buying a plasma.
Plasmas are cheaper and the picture quality is super.
Any newer plasma owners out there want to give us a little story on how your plasmas are holding up and what model you have?

My Plasmas are fine.
Im experiencing a lil Burn in (its visible when I turn on the TV with no input and the screen is all black) with my Panasonic but its around 5 yrs old and itsstrictly for my ps3 games now.
My LG Plasma is almost 2 yrs old now and its holding on Nicely!
pixel orbiter FTW.

it's a very, very good Blu-Ray player, but it is not the best one on the market.
the PS3 does not bit stream the HD audio formats like Dolby TrueHD and DTS Master Audio. one of the recent firmware upgrades provided support for theseformats,
but the PS3 will not bit stream them. it will only output them in Linear PCM.
i just got a Sony stand alone Blu-Ray player and was able to do a side by side comparison.
video between the 2 players is nearly identical.
however, the audio between the 2 is noticably different.

Though the differences are becoming less noticeable, if you care about accurate picture, color, and black levels, plasmas are the way to go. Having owned both,I can def. say that I enjoy the picture quality of a plasma set over that of an LCD. Many times, an LCD set will give you a bright, vibrant picture, but whatyou may sacrifice are accurate black levels. The deeper the black level, the more correct the rest of the color spectrum. Plasmas also show less motion blurand artifacting, though many of the new 24fps/120hz LCD sets have eliminated that problem. A good buddy of mine has the Samsung "Touch of Color" LCDset and it looks amazing, but personally, I still prefer my 11th gen Panasonic 1080p plasma. There is really no burn-in AT ALL anymore in any of the higher-endplasma sets, what you may find is what is called "image-retention" which means that a static image will be present for a few seconds after you changethe video source. Remember this is not a defect, but a natural transitions of the phosphors in the picture tube. Hope this helps. Oh, and I would look atCostco for your plasma, or LCD (if you chose to go with it), they have very good deals this time of year b/c the new models roll out in March, and you may beable to find a set you like for several hundred less than one of the B&M stores. Hope this helps.

Just picked up a Sony KDL46Z4100 yesterday.
Beautiful set.
Love the thin bezel. (its surface area is like 90% screen)
It's sittin on a stand that's much too small for it right now
but it'll suffice until i do over my room in March.
no pics tho
Very happy with the purchase- ima have to upgrade my sound system now.
btw i was coming from a vizio vx37l. (this tv was very good to me)
