Dads56 Posted September 25, 2001 Share Posted September 25, 2001 I would like to place my progressive video toshiba dvd player 20' from my 50" toshiba 16 x 9 tv. Any ideas on best cable to use? I was going to use RG59. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShapeShifter Posted September 26, 2001 Share Posted September 26, 2001 Dads56, It's always recommended to keep interconnect cables to the shortest lengths possible. It's been said that helps to prevent degradation of signals. However, not being familar with progressive players, that my not be a factor? Nothing comes to mind in those lengths. You may want to talk to some of the tech's at the following online retail sites: http://www.audioadvisor.com/ http://www.accessories4less.com/ http://www.partsexpress.com/ I personally try to limit my audio/video interconnects to lengths no longer 2 meters. With the exception of Subwoofer cable for LFE connection. Welcome aboard & Good Luck...Wes This message has been edited by ShapeShifter on 09-26-2001 at 08:26 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dougdrake2 Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 Due to my room layout, I have a run of about 16 feet to my TV from my DVD. I couldn't find a single component video cable that long (and didn't want to pay to have one made), so I bought two and connected them using $2.50 Radio Shack RCA-RCA connecters. Seems to work fine.

soundog Posted September 27, 2001 Share Posted September 27, 2001 I compared a 3ft run of component vidro cables with 12 foot runs off of my progressive scan DVD player and Monster brand (several grades) with Radio Shack Gokd and could see no difference. I froze several detailed frames, and A-Bed the cables. You mighy try the above suggestion (two joined 12' with onr alone) and compare. I would think the conections would degradw rhe signal but maybe not. A single 20 foot run would probaby be better if you could find or make a set.
