I'd like 37 or 40 in screen. Enough high quality inputs and IR blasters to support a) STB b) DVD c) AppleTV and gaming console + one more just in case). MasterLink. Surround Sound as an *option* (I don't want surround sound, but I can see why others would). Great speakers (good enough so that external speakers are not necessary for casual listening

bumble: 6270302 - DIN to 2x RCA. May need a ground isolator - PC input can be a bit noisier than PL... Best, Bumble Are you sure? I have tried this cable, and I get audio on only one channel.
