| 412320 | 2005-12-13 16:59:00 | Is there some sorta rule of thumb about the maximum allowable length for an S-Vid cable? Seems the local electronics places are not carrying anything longer than 12 feet long . . . about 4 meters I think . Is the degradation too much at lengths longer than that? I need to run about 25 feet/9 meters to my Home Theater from here in the bedroom where the puter is and I don't want to try to splice the cable . Concerning a previous post by me, I did not buy the SONY . . I got the Phillips system . . . love it! BTW: we don't do metric here . . . we use the King's royal nose for the base measure! Sorry if I messed up the metric values in this post . |

| 412322 | 2005-12-13 21:47:00 | There should be no problem running a cable that length as long as you use a good cable... my boss runs one further than that and I know we run a video camera (using ps2 cable) MUCH further. You always want the shortest cable you can get away with but the distance you are talking about shouldn't be an issue. | spdrcln (9420) | ||
