Cables

[Clareman]

Hi All,

I've gotten the Playstation setup through the RGB on my TV, unfortunetly I don't have HDMI but I do have Composite, I think I need a cable like this (http://www.play.com/Games/PlayStatio...e/Product.html), but I've only 1 set of these connectors on my TV and my Xbox goes through this, does anyone know if you can get a splittler type box for this (that doesn't degrade the quality too much?)

Thanks in advance

That should do the job nicely, allows you to connect 3 component devices to a HDTV with only 1 component port.

That looks spot on, time to get some cheap good quality (oxymoran I know) cables to go with it, thanks HermaN

I use one of these, no problem with leakage or crosstalk. I wouldn't pay that kind of money, unless it was remote controlled.

Wow, thanks guys, shipping to Ireland looks a bit pricey tho

Richersounds Ireland:
http://www.richersounds.ie/asp/produ...&ProductID=695
Its shows as £249 but according to their price beat details they will beat the pixmania or empire direct price by £10 (or 15 Euros). So that's an amp that most are selling for £210 for only £169.

You could also look at the Sony STR-DG510 (I've got this and paid 200 about 18 months ago ... I have no complaints at all) which Richersounds.ie do and Pixmania are selling for £142 (again get Richersounds to price match). It has 2 component in and 1 component out. The DG710 has 3in/1out.

what's an Irish site doing quoting in pounds? The price would be about right if it was euros. Herself doesn't like surround sound (don't ask) so I'll have to do some persuading

[Clareman]

Ahh, they are in Belfast, I'll call them tomorrow, they seem to have FANTASTIC prices, although I am tempted to buy a new TV altogether looking at their prices

I use that same box to switch between my wii, 360 and original xbox. The original xbox is on the way out, and a ps3 is coming in What component cable did you buy for the ps3? Did you splash out on the official one, or did you manage to find a good quality 3rd party cable?

I got the Sony AV 1, nice cable, managed to get a mate to get it for me so it didn't cost me anything
