Wondering where the best place was to buy decent cables.
An another question - to hook up my DVD player to my TV via S-video am I better off using a S-Video to Scart cable or a Scart to Scart cable - or is there no difference ?

Cheers

Well impressed with the Ixos 135AV (S-VHS > Scart) cable I just got from hifibitz (http://www.hifibitz.co.uk/warehouse/)

Be careful as apparently such cables are directional and you don't want to end up with a Scart > S-VHS (so I was told)

What do you reckcon - Scart to Scart or S-Video to Scart ?
Can't comment really. No brainer for me as I couldn't output S-Video from the Scart(s) on the player...

No difference really except that you get auto channel switching with the scart to scart connection. You'll have to select AV1, 2, etc manually if you use S-video to scart.
