Use RG59 for the video and digital audio. There
is no such thing as 'digital coax'. Actually yes there is. It looks like one of the RCA type cables that are used for sound and video. It is used with DVD player and is sent to the Home theater reciever to produce the Dolby Digital or DTS surround sound form DVD like Dolby Digital EX etc. The other Digital audio is Optial (toslink) Thats my 2 Cents

What you should choose does not end in the here and now, but how much you want to deal with it in the futre |

This has got to be one of the funniest posts I've read in a while. Especially like how it was resurected by a guy that used his one and only post to bring back a 4 year old post from the dead.
Just made me chuckle...

Thats my 2 Cents Okay, we'll accept one of your 2 cents. Optical is digital only. ANY coax interconnect will carry 'coax' digital signals. Even a coat hanger will carry digital audio, as long as you scrape off the paint first. I bet you believe in digital speaker wire, too.

Hey now that everyone has bashed their brains out on Composite, Component, S-Video & the definition of Coax. How about the newer "digital to digital" DVI and HDMI hook up formats.

Hmm. Does that mean you don't know the answer, Larry?

Larry? Hey, it could happen! lol Sounds like My Cousin Vinny, when Mona testifies about the "trick question" about the timing of a '57 Chevy with a 327 with four-barrel carb. Seriously, being a CRT front-projector user, I'm not familiar with digital connections beyond knowing how to connect them.

How about a simple explanation? Imagine three RCA-ended interconnects, one with red plugs, one with green plugs, and one with blue plugs. That's a component-video cable.

Also, you can simply use 3 separate video cables to do the job. I find it humorous when a 6-foot component cable is far more expensive than buying three equal-quality 6 foot standard video cables from the same company. And even funnier when a coaxial digital audio cable runs more expensive than the equal video cable. :-)

At least in Southern California, Home Depot and lots of other places have sets of different colored plastic tape for about $3.00. The set has green, blue, red, yellow, black, and white.
I keep this in stock. Three unlabeled video cables, gently wound from one end to the other, with pieces of red, green, and blue tape on each end become a component cable. The yellow is used for NTSC if needed. The black and white can be for audio, or occasionally I will need them for RGBHV. Did some video guru create these tape packs?

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
