S-video is very famous now and it is found in almost all the new systems manufactured today. S-video cables are available all throughout the market to help in this connection.
  • Find suitable adapters to connect: Adapters are sources which help in connecting the TV and the system. Proper adapters should be purchased or else there may be problems with loose connections, data transmission, and heat dissipation problems. To overcome such problems we must buy suitable adapters. Adapters are available in various price ranges depending on the brands. The adapters vary according to the TV brand. They have to be compatible with the system output.
