Samsung Anynet+ (HDMI-CEC) Samsung says that the Anynet+ functionality of their TVs and DVD players requires an HDMI cable that supports CEC. Does this cable meet that criteria?

I have this connecting my samsung pn50c590 to my samsung blu ray player, and the anynet+ seems to be working just fine.

Idk what CEC means, but when i purchased my cables from monoprice, the anynet functionality of the tv with the bluray player worked without a problem. Just simply connect the two ends of the cable, and tv will recognize it.

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.

Yeah you can use both cable in conjunction with each other, but why? The reason for having an HDMI cable is to get get the best picture possible. I would recommend getting some more HDMI cables for your other components, that way you ensure your getting the best quality. If your DVD player doesn't have HDMI inputs, than you have no choice. The rank in video cables from worst to best is as follows: RCA, S-Video, then HDMI.

Just so you know, it is HDMI-CEC that controls turning devices on, not ARC. ARC just allows the sound's signal to travel "backwards" through the cable. Companies usually call CEC something else for marketing purposes like Anynet+, Bravia Sync, Aquos Link, SimpLink, Viera Link, etc. Check to make sure both devices support a CEC connection (CEC-enabled). Your HDMI cables should be at least version 1.3a (which introduced audio commands), but it may be safer to just get the latest version (currently 1.4) since there are specification updates with each release. It's a good idea when buying new a/v hardware to make sure you buy the latest version cables as well. Just so you know, it is HDMI-CEC that controls turning devices on, not ARC.

yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the... » Read More yeah, i got myself a $5 HDMI cable on amazon too, it works greatbut i will give you a short comparison between component and HDMIcomponent: transmits 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i signals (no 1080p), and videos only - no audio. and it does not support up-converted SD-DVD content, so SD-DVD can only be outputed as 480p maxHDMI: transmits both audio and video in 480i, 480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p, 1080p/24. it supports up-converted SD-DVD video (and trust me it actually does look better). in all the above output format. so go for HDMI. it is also the future connection, in about a decade (very possibly a lot shorter) all connections will be in HDMI, or a more advanced connection. « Show Less

Any hdmi cable should do. My experience with these cables was not good though as both were defective.

There is no definitive 3D specific cable yet from anything I can find. My limited knowledge says that if the cable can carry Ethernet and HDMI means"High Definition Multimedia Interface" than the 3D sales naming is for sales. I cannot find any reason to say there is a true difference yet in design. To be able to carry signal as input and output and at the speeds needed these days, the label is just that, a label. You are safe with these.

I do not know for sure, but the HDMI port is so you don't need any other cables to connect up all of your components HDMI cable does it all. My experience with HDMI is it takes precedent over all other component cable connected and will not aloud any signal cable but the HDMI to pass through from your componet, Good luck.

The two I have (Netgear and Roku) both demand hdmi cables to connect the player to the TV--the only signal output is an hdmi connection.

To answer your question, no but it is good to have one. I'm pretty sure you "CAN'T" use this cord with a standard tv, the ones with the big back on them. I don't use these cables with an hdtv. I bought them for when my friends come over, and since I don't have spare tvs, they use it on computer monitors. I hope this answers your question. If not, I can talk to you on an online video chat service called ooVoo. Basically what I'm saying is that you don't need a HD TV, but you need a computer monitor(screen you use for computers in case you didn't know). I don't mean to write a lot, but I tried to answer your question as best as I could.

No, you did the right thing. There isn't really any difference between component cables and HDMI. 91 bucks seems pricey, I bought one a year ago for 30 bucks. The only advantage over HDMI is it carries both audio and video. Also when HDCP is implemented you don't have to worry about your videos not playing over component, but that won't be done for years.

That's simple. None. Don't buy it. It's a faulty device full of firmware problems. It never switched properly between HDMI devices properly for me so I returned it.

Depending on what you are hooking up you should only need one HDMI cable (Roku, CD wifi player, etc) If you are hooking two items then you will need 2, and so on. The purpose of this cable is to use the audio and visual as ONE, not needing 3 different hookups for this (usually with a white, red and yellow hookup). And yes, it should work with your new Samsung. It worked with mine.

I'm having the same problem. No issues with the component connection, but problems with the HDMI connection. It sometimes shows fine and sometimes shows no signal (or takes 10-15 seconds to change channel). It is perfect with the Component connection.Like the others here I have a Samsung HD Cable box from Time Warner.

You could ask that about just about any DVD player manufacturer. Most players don't come with S Video or Component cables, much less HDMI.
