Dreamcast sound, video and misc questions

TalkingOctopus:
Yeah I hate radioshack too but there is not much of an alternative around here.  Looks like I will be making another visit.  At least they don't ask for your phone number anymore.

When I was a teenager, I worked as a cashier at best buy and you'd be surprised how many people actually buy those crazy monster cables.  They may make a slight difference but there is no way I am ever going to drop that much money on a crummy cable.

You can pick one up at about any major deparment store or game store.

Splitting an audio signal is not recommended as it drops the strength of the signal and generally introduces alot of noise.
Amplification can remedy a weak signal, but you are then amplifying the noise also. Don't split a video signal! The signal will be too weak producing a very dim picture, if any.

A couple links:

TalkingOctopus:
Since it is input and only one signal will be active at a time I don't think there would be a problem.  However, since I am going to purchase a switch box, I will just use that.

Thanks for the links.
