sean, you're correct, i have asked questions where the answers here have been unclear to me, and evryone here DOES take the extra time to "dunb it down" when i ask them to and it is appreciated. i am new and i have actually begun to be able to absorb the info and assimilate it into answers for other people. nice. but,darrylhifi, while the humor is acknowledged, seans' answers do take more than roaming a retailers web site(crutchfeild)to understand. give the original poster your opinion on his question in lieu of a flippant remark, or at least give both. with that said, a good cable is a good cable, either way. i'd would concern youdelf with what type of cable to use, ie s-video, coax, rca etc. to acheive what you'r looking for.
