Hi All,
I'm looking for a little advice on my current setup. I'm running a projector to a large screen, and the distance between my projector and appliances is approximately 30ft.
My Appliances:
Foxtel Satellite Digital Set Top Box (Scart out)
Pioneer DVD Player (S-Video and RGB Component out)
JVC VCR (S-Video and RCA out)
Pioneer VSX D710S Receiver (this unfortunately does not convert signals, so whatever goes in is what it must go out as, at this time I'm using S-Video, it also has RGB Component and RCA)
NEC LT260 Projector (S-Video, RCA and 15pin RGB in)
My Setup:
Set Top Box: RCA via Scart to VCR
DVD Player: S-Video to Receiver
VCR: S-Video to Receiver
Receiver: S-Video to Projector
At the moment I'm getting interference in the form of waves generally going towards to the top left hand corner of the screen. This appears to happen regardless of which appliance is playing, so I think it is the 30ft S-Video cable. I've also created my own S-Video cable from a Cat5 cable to see if that made any difference, but the waves were identical as far as I could tell.
If anyone could shed some light on what I should do here (before I go out and buy some better quality S-Video cables) that would be fantastic. I don't want to replace existing equipment if I can help it. Is there a way to convert something to the 15pin RGB in on the projector as I'm assuming that would be the best quality? Or do I need some kind of appliance to increase signal strength?
Any suggestions are very welcome.
Thanks in advance
