What Cables Do I Need?
Composite Video
The Composite video can be used to connect a range of video sources to
the plasma television. These may include: cable TV signals, satellite TV
signals, DVD player signals and VCR signals. Composite video offers the
poorest video picture quality; if you connect the video source using an
s-video or component video signal you will notice a considerable
improvement in the picture quality.
S-Video
The S-video cable is one of the best ways to upgrade your video input
from the standard composite video. Most plasma TV’s include one s-video
input. The cable is generally thicker than composite and comes in a number
of forms ranging from the basic s-video cable to the silver s-video cable
which we recommend for plasma TVs.
VGA- Means Computer
All 15 pin VGA inputs found on plasma TVs are exactly the same as ones
found on PC monitors. They can be used for either PC, HDTV decoder or DVD
player connections. If you wish to connect a PC or a HDTV decoder to your
plasma TV you will need a VGA - VGA cable and for DVD players you will
need a VGA - RCA cable.
Audio Inputs
All audio inputs can be used to connect speakers to plasma TVs, these may
be the extra speakers manufacturers sell as options with the plasma TV or
other stand alone speakers. If the plasma TV does not have any audio
inputs you will need to set-up your own home theater system with an audio
receiver and home theater speakers.
