Home Video Asylum

TVs, VCRs, DVD players, Home Theater systems and more.

Obviously . . .

As we did. Nevertheless, the signal strength problem does not go away. It is not dissimilar from the constraints in VGA cable runs. As always, the problems are far more obvious in a projection system (mine was +/- 72" in Manhattan). As to cable quality, the better cable was obviously better than other remedies, in fact it was better than a lesser cable running 1/2 the distance. Sometimes (only sometimes) there is more to cables than fairy dust and hype!

As an aside, Composite video (ugh) fares better over long runs, all things being equal. That is not to say one would prefer the composite feed (though in LaserDisc players that becomes a shootout amongst the competing comb filters and their synergies with cables and other "stuff").
