Hello,
I have recently bought few bargains to create my own AV system. These are the things I bought:
Yamaha RX-620rds (£50)
Rotel RA 921 + Mourdaunt Short MS20i (£50) (I will sell Rotel or keep it in another room)
Samsung HD870 DVD player (£48)
I also have:
Wharfedale Freeview box
Ps2
I dont have any cables other than SCART cables for DVD player and Freeview box yet. And that is the problem I have.
Yamaha RX-620rds AV amp has 2x component input, 1x component output, 6x composite inputs, 1x composite out, 6x s-video input, 1x s-video output and plenty of audio inputs/outputs (not relevant now). Also I have 32' CRT Panasonic TV so no need to digital video outputs.
Since I dont have any cables yet and DVD, PS2, Freeview all have scart video output I am not sure whether I should be
1. connecting scart video outputs directly to TV
DVD player scart to FREEVIEW scart input, then Freeview SCART output to TV
PS2 console to TV
and connect all audio outputs to amp
2. connecting scart video outputs to amps component input (dvd to freeview and freeview to amp, ps2 to second component input)
DVD player scart to amps component input
Freeview scart to amps component input
amp component output to TV scart
PS2 console to amps svideo (possibly)
and connect all audio outputs to amp
Do I lose some quality if I use SCART - component cable? Should I be connecting video directly from DVD/ps2/freeview to TV using SCART - SCART cable and use amp only for audio connections ?
Please help me as I cant decide whether to buy just audio cable to connect devices with amp or to invest quite heavily (considering the price of my devices) to scart - component cables (need 3?)
Thank you.
