Thanks Barry.
The monitor is an old Hitachi Plasma but still has very good picture quality. It was pre HDMI but has a digital DVi input for which I have an adapter. Had a nightmare setting it up with Youview box as its default output is 1080p and the Hitachi will only run with a 1080i signal – so how do you access the setup screen if you can’t see it? – Answer – nick son’s LG LCD TV! Mind you took a few hours to figure that out.
Anyway proposed connections are HDMI from YV to Monitor. Scart on YV can be connected direct to Onkyo receiver for sound but will that give me high quality sound or would I be better off connecting the optical from YV to Receiver
