Coaxial to A/V?
« on: September 27, 2008, 09:59:19 PM »
Is there a cable that has A/V on one side, and coaxial on the other? I want to use an A/V connection to my tuner for better quality video. I don't see results on google?

I don't believe anyone makes such a cable. I'm not sure that you could combine the two.  :thinking:

Ugh, my tuner only has coaxial outputs, coaxial doesn't provide the best picture.

Nope, what you do is just hook up the AV cables, then it outputs it in coaxial format... It's basically a $15 redundancy box / paper weight... That box will provide you with a coaxial output, and so does your receiver... However, that box may provide a better quality coaxial output.

I have an s-video cable also. So I connect the s-video cable from my receiver to the modulator, and then a coaxial from the modulator to the tuner? And i get s-video quality video on the tuner?

You can't get S-Video quality over Coax.

Not really. When you convert one method to another, it's not possible to maintain the same quality, because of the different architectures/standards.

Audio has nothing to do with video quality.
