hi i wanna run 2 channel audio from my new toshiba 350 dvd, with the 3 component sockets red/white/yellow, i intend on using Van Den Hul's the Name to connect to my amp. This is my question, can i use a digital co-axial connection such as eccose the producer to connect the video to my small toshiba lcd tv? if not what kind of quality video leads should i be looking at?

In order to get progressive scan, which you will want with an LCD TV, you will want to use the Component or SCART connection, or a DVI/HDMI (digital) connection. Yes, you can use a coaxial digital cable interchangably with composite video, but you will not be able to get progressive scan then.

Aren't those cables expensive??? No need to pay high prices for cables.

Thnax guys for your help so far, however I am still a bit confused, I am more of a pure hi-fi man and so I don;t have much to do with the world of video.

The outputs on my Toshiba 350 DVD are, HDMI, Scart, Video Out Jack (Yellow), Audio Outs (Red/White), Co-Axial Digital Audio Out and Component Video Out (Y/Pb/Pr).

The inputs on my 15" Toshiba LCD are, Scart, PC Input, S-Video, Video Input (yellow) and audio input (red/white).

So if I connect the audio outs to my Naim Amplifier I will get 2 channel sound, which I am fine with, then can I scart connect the DVD to TV to get the video images? Why would you not use better cables than those provided, I was thinking a £40 van den hul and a £30 QED Scart would give much clearer AV than the cheap ones they provide you with?

Also what is DTS?

You could connect the digital audio to get surround sound if you want.

Expensive cables are just that, expensive, nothing more. Unless you also buy for the visual impact it has to you or family and friends. Performance? Well, that is yet to be shown. Buy more music with the saved pound
