These cables vs. Component cables: Any ideas?
9158
I purchased 1.3a category 2 certified 28AWG 6 ft hdmi cables through monoprice that work equally well with the Steren gold-tipped video cables provided by my cable company. The cable guy told me they are equivalent, and I would agree with that after having compared them myself. However the cable guy did also tell me that optical audio cables would be needed to match the quality that hdmi cables would provide. I do not have a surround sound system so can't judge the difference on that. Ultimately I went with the hdmi cables because there is only one plug on each end and so simpler to disconnect and reconnect if need be. PS I also compared top of the line Monster Cable HDMI (over $100 each!) to the monoprice $5 cables and couldn't tell any difference. This is on a Sony 1080p xbr4 120hz tv with a Playstation 3 for Blu Ray/dvd player. I say if component cables work better for you, go with them.

I'm sure it depends on your selection of power supply but the biggest problem I have had is bundling up left over cables.

Make sure that the cables you buy are HDMI certified. This will ensure that the connector is made to spec. Otherwise, the problem is on the hardware side. I would first suspect the cable though.

Shouldn't really matter, but don't get ripped off buying a $60 cable from the local electronics store; you can get one that does that same thing for $20 or less.

C component ( now mostly used if you still have a old video recorder or old gaming consol's to give it beter quality) but the B and the F i think it got to to with the sound and imige cables idk. as for the use of the item component has 5 cables and it will make it so that it fits a samsung TV that can use this signal cable.

I have had no problems with either software. The cable works well with both. I hope this helps!

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways. Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

I'm not sure what the problem may be. Also, you shouldn't be using composite cables anyways. The quality is horrible. Even S-Video would be a better option. Unless you meant to say you're using component cables.Also, the S doesn't mean silver in the case. Go to the TX-SR806 product page. Look at the photos, one of the photos which I uploaded has a Serial # with the S. Please check it out.

I read the cables unlimited description and sound like the star tech use the same kind of cable management. You can try the less expensive first

I have no knowledge of the other cable. I bought the best value at the time. I would guess that the difference would be the thickness of the outer cover or the density of the wires themselves. Hope this helps you make your decisipn

Doesn't matter. Doesn' matter, really. Data and signal cables just need a decent connector on each end. Speaker cables are different, you need a fairly wide Guage for that, I prefer 12, but signals, being low voltage, have different concerns, quality terminations, etc

Neither one. Save $100+ and order an Amazon, Monoprice, Blue Jeans Cable, etc brand cable. They all do the EXACT SAME THING as the Monster cables but cost a fraction of the price.

I don't know that there is much of a difference. I would highly recommend that you do not purchase this product. While the cable(s) themselves are thick, the ends are cheaply made and break very easily.

Sorry, Eugene D. I just don't know. I needed them to hook two laptops and three printers into a hub so they could all talk to each other. Actually, all I ended up with was some vague muttering. There wasn't anything wrong with cables though, and they were exactly what I ordered. Have you tried to ask the vendor?

Hello Joann,No this is just a component to component cable. Thanks,Mediabridge Customer Support856-216-8222support@mediabridgeproducts.com

I'd imagine the only difference would be the length of the wire. Keep in mind though that signals degrade based on the length of the wire. My 0.5 cable works flawlessly. If I needed more length I'd probably go for something gold plated.
