Choosing Projector Cables (Buying Tips)

Connector: For excellent audio and video output quality, choose a projector cable with gold tips, as gold is an excellent signal conductor.

Scart cable: Choose a scart cable (also known as Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs cable) if you use more than one device in your home projection system. This type of cable allows you to use all the necessary multimedia devices and hook them up to one controlling unit. It comes with an adapter that allows it to be used with s-video and s-video format cables.
