Bill--
Another option is to buy a new A/V receiver for $200-$300 that will likely have all the connections you need. (I did this several months ago myself - bought a new Sony A/V from Best Buy to replace the 10+ year old Sony w/o component connections.)
The back of your new Sony LCD will have lots of connections (I have a 40" Bravia). For the DVD, I connected component cable direct from the DVD to the back of the TV (for video), and then composite cables from the DVD to the A/V receiver (for audio).
On Sony TVs, there are also a multitude of choices as to what the input signal is. IIRC, Video 6 is the cable box signal. I chose to hook up the DVD to Video 4. It'll make more sense when you have the unit out of the box. The Sony website also has copies of the manuals available for download. You might want to read it to familiarize yourself with the options.
Whatever you do, suggest, labeling ALL the connections AT BOTH ENDS. This way, you won't have to trace all the cables at a later date if you have a problem.
