mossy1503559706 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I've pretty much decided that I am going to purchase a Sanyo Z5 when I move into my new house in a few weeks time. In the meantime, I've been looking at what cables I need and was going to start purchasing 2 x 10m HDMI cables, 1 for DVD player and 1 for Digital Set top box(this one is actually DVI to HDMI) But I'm really concerned now from what I have read about HDMI cables not working, especially long ones like 10 or 15m ones. I don't understand this "handshake" thing. Has anyone had problems with the Sanyo Z5 not working with some HDMI cables? I don't really want to be spending hundreds of dollars per cable so I was looking at the cheap ones. Otherwise maybe I should just get long Component cables. But I really thought HDMI would give me a better picture. Any comments?? Mossy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mossy1503559706 Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 Yeh, I'm thinking of the Selbys one.

Mossy I have not bought anything from the Supercables but the cable looks fine, I bought my 15 metres HDMI from Sterlingtek.com but their shipping price have almost doubled and their cable price jumped USD10.00. Back in Jan 2007 I bought the cable from them for AUD94.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
