<font color='#000000'>Salutations
I've just gone out and purchased a new tv to replace my B&O. I Picked up a Toshiba 32ZP18P/Q. The specs can be seen at the end of this post
I was quite impressed by the picture quality on the tosh when it was fed a signal via DVD & composite video interconnects. But as i know naught about av electronics etc... i have a few questions
1) Are composite interconnects better than scart / scart, or vice versa?
2) can you reccomend a set of interconnects or scart lead in in the £30-100 price range?
I have a tired & poorly DVD player & so am looking at replacing this in the next few weeks... any suggestions for a £150-250 DVD player 2... I've got a tosh' SD 520 eyeballed and the rough specs can be seen here

Any help appreciated as these issues for me, are like rocket science with quantum physics sprinkled on top
cheers
