quote: thats what all the "newbies" say ;) :lol: tbh you will notice alot of difference between cheap 20p metre crap and lets saying a 10 quid per metre. But to some degree, i agree that that you start to pay 60,80,100+ quid per metre and you struggle to notice any difference :) edit - quick suggestion though. Get flat speaker cable, as you'll beable to hide it underneath carpet/wallpaper etc So you can have a nice flush install :) [Edited on 13-05-2005 by Dom] | |

quote: Yup, thats the connection ! :thumbs: Its RGB, so each colour is seperate to the screen. Its alot better than s-video, especially with colours. But yes, buy a decent component set of cables (spend around 40 quid etc) and connect the dvd to the plasmas input 2(i think thats the one with component?) :thumbs: Then if your sky box has s-video, use that to the plasma, same as with your vcr. Basically, just use the best connection possible - although i wouldnt bother with composite (single RCA video connection). It usually offers a worse picture than a scart connection. Just make sure that you get "full" scart connectors if your using them - again i would recommends cambridge audios scarts, gold plated etc and the cable is about an inch think and shielded :thumbs: anyways heres a quick list of connections, better/worse etc etc - http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/howto-av.html | |

quote: well if your DVD player has only got s-video out (that being the highest quality connection out of what you stated) then use that - but im suprised it hasnt got component out, especially as my 300 quid cambridge audio has, and i would havnt thought that pioneer would bundle a dvd with component outputs with a plasma that supports it :boggle: Even for that price (300 quid), you can get a bloody decent HDMI dvd player, which is even better, as its digital all the way to the screen :) But yea, sounds like your gonna have to use s-video every where then :thumbs: as for tips - when your not watching it, TURN IT OFF. Also, try not to watch too many channels with those silly corner logos as they will cause burn in. And dont leave the screen on any still images - ie: playing xbox/ps2, skys EPG etc etc Again will cause burn in. <- these are extreme cases btw, but limit it where possible :) Apart from that, treat it like a normal telly - just make sure that if you hang it, you wack it on a solid brick wall and use decent bolts etc etc As they arnt exactly light ;) Also make sure theres plenty of space around the unit for air flow, as they do get quite hot :thumbs: [Edited on 13-05-2005 by Dom] | |

but is S-video better than scart in General, and would it benefit me on this system?? | |

Between the dvd and plasma, go component/DVI/HDMI (depends what your DVD player supports) - at worse, use s-video. | |

Get decent gold oxygen free cables, they may cost a bit but defo worth on a system like that! Digital leads (if needed) are alot but again u can tell the sound difference | |
