How do I connect my Gamecube to my Plasma an av amp??

Barold (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Sunday, 18th February 2007, 16:13

Just bought a Pioneer 507 plasma and a 2016 av amp and went to connect my gamecube this morning..... however soon realised that I can only connect to either the plasma (get a picture - no sound) or the amp (sound but no picture).

I`;ve only got the analogue lead that comes with the console so I`m assuming I need another lead.

If anyone can let me know how I connect to both the amp and the Plasma so that I can get the best picture and sound I`d be very grateful.

Cheers

is that a lead with composite left audio right audo, and picture? if so you could put the yellow into the tv, and red and white audios into the amp.

but then the pic won`t be as good as using teh official RGB scart lead.

I have that plugged into a scart switch box from argos.

socket 3 on that is rgb, then a normal scart lead links that to my tv (not a plasma, just a regular CRT), and theres phono leads for the audo from the scart switcher to my amp.

You can get better/more expensive scart switches, which may be more appropriate for your tv.

Hope that makes sense

Barold - had the same problem when had Gamecube - but going into a Projector.
I bought a lead from Japan (offical Nintendo one - was expensive, plus importing!) that went from the digital connector on back of Gamecube (I think it was called that from memory) and then had the Component Red / Blue / Green leads on the end (the Y.PB.PR connection).
Then kept the original Gamecube lead fed into my amp via the Red and White Audio leads from this - the yellow Video lead was unused.
Was huge difference in quality over the Scart connection.
But you would have to check that your Plasma has the Component Connection (the three Red, Blue, Green connections to work).

If interested (shameless plug (:¦ ) take a look at Ebay Item number: 140089197710
