Just bought the Panny 100 to go with the Richer Sounds Limit PS DVD Player.
Awaiting delivery of the Panny :D
Quick question on the component leads though!
Seen these;
£15 for 5m

What I do not understand is why the 1st set has 4 leads and the second set has 3.
Surely I only need 3 leads for the progressive/component connection?



Dunno but I picked up the 3m by mistake today. Sitting at home staring at an unconnected Panny, sobbing quietly :)
Although I'm going out again in a minute to get another set :D



Probably more at home in Hardware Forum. :)



Can you move it there please?



I've just gone for the 5m £5 one from the same place. Will let you know how it is when I get it

They are not the same product. The Maplin product is a general audio cable for use around the home and car.
At least the CPC product is a 75 ohm video transmission cable.



Thanks guys!
Have ordered the 5m £5 version - pretty cheap, but really just to get it up and running.
Once I have the room sorted where it will go, I will need a longer cable, so will probably get a better quality at that stage.
Thanks
