First, I can't believe that you replied to my post! I've followed your Stereophile reviews for years and greatly admire your work. The fact that you're so helpful on a "retail" basis, has propelled you into sainthood. Wow.

Second, I will check the literature on my Hitachi RPTV, but is it likely that a 3 year old set would be HDCP compliant?

Third, if it doesn't support HDCP, then am I confined to connecting a Blu-Ray player to the TV with component cables and, if so, will this negate or reduce the improvement I'd otherwise expect to see from a Blu-Ray source?

Finally thanks for your patience with all these questions.

Regards,
S

buy an adapter as DVI is not used on any of the newer sets.

At least that way your cable will be transferable to a newer design.

I know nothing about your Hitachi but the info should be in the user's manual. Using component video should be fine. Just more wire.
