Just ordered a Samsung DVD Recorder with upconvert technology for Christmas (girlfriend paid, I picked it out). My question is this - my HDTV is a couple years old and it has HDCP/DVI inputs and the DVD burner has a HDMI output. If I understand what I am reading, I can get an adapter that will allow me to hook up the DVI to the HDMI. The issue is that I am not sure if that is correct. Figured someone may have run across this before. Any help would be appreciated.

You can buy the adaptor here:

This site has very nice cables/accessories for the price.

Hope this helps!

If you need an HDMI cable then you could consider a cable with HDMI on one end and DVI on the other to avoid the adapter.

Thanks for the link - I would assume all I would need to do is buy the HDMI cable and I would be in business?

I assumed that you had a DVI cable. Buy the DVI to HDMI cable and either a digital coaxial (if your DVD player allows) or fiber optic cable for sound.
