Modern equipment such as plasma screens, Freeview and Sky boxes, DVD Players and Video recorders need to
be connected together via specialist cables. The quality of these cables is quite important to maintain good picture and sound.
We stock a large range of leads to suit most equipment from basic Phono leads, SCART amd S-Video. |

Shown below is a common setup for a full AV system. Note that in this configuration Scart leads are used as interocnnects for the AV signals. However, these could be replaced with S-Video and RCA for improved picture quality. If your equipment has the facility, SPDIF (digital) connector could be used to obtain the best picture / sound quality possible. |
