This Plasma has various inputs (I have the same set but the Panasonic one in my bed room) that can easily be used and it also has terminals for speakers if you wish to use them. I have a freeview box pluged into the PC input via a Scart to PC cable which I got from Keene Electronics, and my DVD player conected via Component. There are inputs for sound on all if you so choose to use them. Considering the age of the screen the results are still very good considering its only a 640x480 panel with a good black leval to boot. This screen was a award winner in it day dont forget.

http://www.keene.co.uk/electronics/product.php?mycat=32_119_547_642 You will also find Scart to Component here as well. They are quite expensive but well worth the price.

Not sure I would give them a call and they will be able to tell you. The more expensive version that I have comes with its own power adaptor to boost the signal and stop any sync issues and I'm not sure about the cheaper version if you get any sync issues or if it is wired for RGB.
