    My tv's dying

    The best picture quality will come from using either the DVI, HDMI or component connection on the pioneer, you wont be getting the best pic using a scart. Many of the new dvd players have HDMI connectors. This transfers digital information striaght to the plasma, it doesnt go thru a d-a...
