I recently stepped up to a projector. The setup required the DVD player to be moved closer to the projector. Would rather have short component video cables and a long audio cable than vice versa. I made a audio coax cable from a RG6. I used RCA connectors (Radio Shack) that I don't think are 75ohm rated and solder for the connections. I get a few audio dropouts now with DVDs and also if I try CDs. At first I thought it could be my aging DVD player. I tried two new players with the same result. So I'm thinking it has to be my long audio coax cable (25 feet). But before I go out and spend about $100 CAD for some Belden 1695A coax (seems to be highly rated) and Canare RCAP connectors (75 ohm rated, crimped not soldered) I would like to know if I'm on the right track. Any similar experiences out there?
I don't think it's my receiver. I play most of my CDs through a CD player that is connected with a 3' toslink. I don't get dropouts. Unless the circuitry is different using the CD mode compared to the DVD mode on the receiver.
Any thoughts?
