Replacing an '02 rear projection w/o HDMI. Besides a mounting bracket, is there anything else I need to buy to be able to use this TV upon delivery?

I would purchase an HDMI cable and possibly a sound bar. The sound bar only if you want better sound than the tv speakers can provide but don't have a lot of space.

Purchase an inexpensive HDMI cable from Amazon. TV is ready to go out of the box. I used the included stand for about a week and then when I got around to it, I mounted it on the wall. Wall mount should be very strong and perfectly level. Otherwise the size of the TV will show even the slightest amount of deflection.

An HDMI cable gives a better picture supposedly but the TV also has the RCA jacks and the RG (cable) input also. I have a VCR (I know they are antique) without an HDMI output and it is connected with an RCA cable

You want a box opposite of this one. This box takes an older type composite signal and outputs HDMI (for a new TV). Check the site for a box that does the opposite of this one (HDMI to composite) and you will be fine.

As I recall, the kit included one HDMI cable. You will need more, depending on how you set the system up. Feel free to use the lowest cost HDMI cables you can find, for short distances they are just fine. . You will need one or two to connect to the inputs on the transmitter (like a cable box and a DVD player). You will need another if you plan on using the pass through feature. Then one on the receiver to connect to the remote TV.

I bought the rear mounting separately @Fry's electronics. Bought a cheap set, seems to work well

"Component" is correct. Tough keeping up with all the changes. Went ahead and ordered two 15' Metabridge HDMIs from Amazon which came to less than $40.00 delivered (they didn't have 12'). One is for the blue ray and the other for satellite HD when I get converted. Can't believe local box-store wants $50.00 for one 12' set! Thanks for your input.

You will also need an HDMI cable from the display port to your TV (or monitor). Hope this helps!

The optical cable is a nice-to-have. An HDMI cable will do the trick (it won't carry Dolby if your TV can produce it).

Hi, the only thing that you needed to purchase is an HDMI cable for connecting this Sony Home Theater System to the TV. Anything else are included in the package like cable wires for the speaker, etc. -Ely

You shouldn't need anything other than what's in the box. The mirror housing has three balls that stick out. This replacement mirror has three sockets that those balls snap in to. The center ball and socket is the main mirror mount. The other two ball/socket joints are for the vertical and horizontal adjustments. It all just snaps together with a firm smack from the palm of your hand.

Yes, you need to connect RCA cables from sat receiver to DVD unit and select the DVD-R input for those particular jacks on the back (Line 1). There is no HDMI input on this model but it has RCA composite, S-Video and if memory serves me right, component input. I would use S-Video if my sat/cable receiver has such output for better picture.

if its a new TV, then you can hook in with HDMI or USB. if its an older model, you will need a converting system like a dvd player with those inputs or a blueray player. some models come with a A/V jack, so your can go from microphone jack to RCA connectors.

Yes, you need a VGA cable. Look at the photo of the rear of the unit posted on the listing.

This question seems to be answered in another discussion, and the answer seems to be that you will have to run component and composite outs to the TV separately.

Without more on your exact set up its hard to give a good answer. You will need to have a connecting cable if the correct type for each external component you connect to your tv. HDMI is the preferred connection as it conveys audio and video in a single cable. Use hdmi cables supporting at least hdmi 1.3 protocol to support the functions of this tv.

There are no bracket screw receptacles on the back of the TV; so the bracket (unknown) will have to capture the TV frame.

Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable. Ive never used one. There is a port on my PS3 as well as my surrond sound. He said this cable was the best way to get the highest quality out of your surround sound. Kind of like comparing SD to HD. My optima will be coming in tomorrow, I cant wait. Kinda like christmas for me haha. Thanks for the advice on the ceiling mount. I was gonna buy the 20$ one but after your comment I went for the Atdec TH-WH-PJ-FM Telehook Universal Projector Flush Mountit was 54$ but had some good reviews. Cant wait till tomorrow....calling into work sick! Thanks for the reply. Ill try that. Just to pass some info along, my friend told me the best way to hook up the audio is through an optical cable.
