[GC] To amp?

I have had a cable with the gamecube, I have red,white,yellow going to my TV, is it worth putting the yellow and red into my amp, will this improve the sound, or is it best to buy another cable.?

Try it and find out. I personally wouldn't think twice than to plug a console through an amp. TVs usually have pretty average speaker systems.

BTW, it's the white and red you'd wanna plug into your amp. Yellow is for video.

You may also want to get an RGB cable for better PQ but definatley put it into the amp if amp has PL2 it will make a big difference!

dont see why it couldnt as long as wavebird will reach i have an advantage in that bedroom is over lounge and the lights on receiver pick up button pushes, not investiagted further!
Game etc do RGB leads a few quid but a big improvement if you have a larger TV 28" or bigger
