hdmi to 1394 IEEE

[hoop5]

<font color='#000000'>I have a Mitsu. widescreen with the 1394 IEEE connection and was wondering if the new Elite 59 avi ( has hdmi) would connect up? I know that the pins are different, but I heard that they will start making adapter cables. Can anyone give me any insight?</font>

<font color='#000000'>At first look it does not seem that you have two compatible interfaces. You can try connection the Pioneer i-link to the Mitusu 1394 but my guess is they won't talk to each other.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I called pioneer and the tech said that cable companies will make an adapter. Is this possible or is it just two completely different signals?</font>
