Please log in for more thread options Hi Alan, I would recommend going to Radio Shack and purchasing some ready made cables. The crimp tools and parts will set you back way more than it's worth. Get the midrange ones. My 2¢ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

I went to Radio Shack last weekend to see what they had. Unfortunately all they stock now is monster cables. Looks like even RS has sold out to the over-priced "bling" market. :( Hi Alan, I would recommend going to Radio Shack and purchasing some ready made cables.

Go with the S video cable and then get somemoderately priced audio cables. Ofcourse this depends on howelaborate yousetup is. sometimes these things need to be looked at up close and personal. -- 40sondacurb ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 40sondacurb's Profile: http://www.homeplot.com/member.php?userid=39 View this thread: http://www.homeplot.com/showthread.php?t=55571 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

Assuming your DVD has component outputs - use those (RYG or whatever they are labled on your machine) to the Component Input on the HDTV. Then run a separate cable (optical or coaxial) from the digital audio out of the dvd to your surround processor. If you also want to listen thru the TV speakers (why?) you'll run a pair of std RCA type from the audio out of the DVD to the audio in of the TV that corresponds to the component input. IMO: Any reasonable quality component cable should do fine. No reason to get special "digital" cables. Bestbuy has cables from AR that I'm using now and the picture is great. Less than $20 for 3 ft. If your DVD has DVI or HDMI outputs (DVI is a rectangular plug with multiple holes and a slot to one side - HDMI looks like a USB plug) use one of those to the corresponding input on the HDTV. Those cables will set you back $100. But it will be worth it. -- yustr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ yustr's Profile: http://www.homeplot.com/member.php?userid=37 View this thread: http://www.homeplot.com/showthread.php?t=55571 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||
