Noob here -- just signed up, literally 2 mins. ago, so greetings to all.
OK, I did a search, but didn't really get the specific answer I was looking for. I wanna connect my PC to my stereo TV. (Yes, not HDTV or Plasma. )
My PC-pack came with only a 1.5 m. long S-video 4-pin cable (see pic #1). It's too short, since my TV's 3 metres away.
I've also got a 18 cm. (7") cable, with 7-pin S-video on one end and a yellow-coloured hole on the other end (see pic #2), along with a 1.8 m. cable with single pin on each side (see pic #3). However, if I connect up those two cables from my PC's S-video to my TV's yellow video slot, the connection is also too short.
OK, so I'd like your info/advice, plz, on the following, in terms of what will give me the best picture quality:
1) Should I buy a single 5 m. S-video cable? or;
2) Buy a 1.5 m. cable like that in pic #2, and then connect that to the 1.8 m. cable in pic #3, which will then connect to the yellow video slot of my TV?
Sorry for the noob questions and long post ! Please let me know if there's no difference between those connections, and, if so, why. (Or is a single S-video cable better than other connections, in terms of picture quality?)
Cheers, and thanks in advance folks...
