I have searched on this forum, and read a number of interesting and informative threads. I have decided to go for a new recordable DVD player. The one I have looked at is the Panasonic DMREX77. On Amazon it is £219.98. (I am keen to buy it from here as I get cashback from using the Amazon site, so unless it is significantly cheaper elsewhere then I am happy to get it from there.)
What I want to know is willl I need to purchase a cable to connect it to my TV? The Amazon site suggests an HDMI cable and recommends one for about £12, but that is from a 3rd party site on Amazon.
We dont have an LCD tv, so I guess the quality of the cable is not so important?
What sort of discs do I need to buy as well?

Thanks for any advice.

    If you don't have a Plasma or LCD Tv you won't have a HDMI port on your TV as there were ony ever two CRT HD TVs sold in the UK as far as I know. I guess it will connect via Scart.

    Out of interest how od you get cashbakc on Amazon as they're not on any of the cashbak sites I've used.
    It's my problem, it's my problem
    If I feel the need to hide
    And it's my problem if I have no friends
    And feel I want to die

    It is not cashback for me, but my kids school belong to 'buyat' and Amazon donate a (small) percentage of anything bought through the schools 'buyat' link to the school.
