Awesome Cables and Awesome Picture! Component Input Necessity........2007-12-25
These cables are great! If you have an HDTV or just a TV with component inputs, these cables are a necessity for better picture. I have both a CRT style TV with component inputs and a 1080p HDTV. Both TV's have more vibrant colors and better picture when using the component cables. Make sure that your HDTV supports 480p if you want the Wii to display in that resolution. DO NOT TRY TO ENABLE 480P IN THE WII SETTINGS IF YOUR TV WILL NOT DISPLAY THAT RESOLUTION.
For those not noticing a difference compared to the included Composite Cables this can be atttributed to 2 things:
1. You have forgotten to enable 480p in the Wii Settings
2. Your HDTV does not display 480p as well as it's native resolution like 1080i/1080p. Not all HDTV's are built the same.
***VERY IMPORTANT FOR 480p Output***
-Please note that your TV must be a high-definition TV (HDTV) or enhanced-definition TV (EDTV) to view 480p output.
-You will also be required to change your Wii settings from Standard TV (480i) to EDTV/HDTV to view 480p.
***VERY IMPORTANT FOR 480p Output***
Super Mario Galaxy looks even more incredible with these cables!! Awesome.
Thanks Amazon for the great price! Thanks Nintendo for another fantastic product!
Not a necessary Item.......2007-12-21
Truly, the Wii is not designed to take advantage of a product like this. The graphics simply don't require a component cable. Of the games I have, I have not seen a difference on my 42" plasma TV between this and the original connection cords. I would NOT recommend this item.
Works as advertised.......2007-12-16
Got this cable for my son's Wii. We have it installed to view on a 92" HD projector system. The video using component signals is much improved from the composite cable connection that comes standard with the game. Good and cheap upgrade to your Wii if you have a large HD screen for viewing.
Great cables.......2007-12-08
I have an HDTV and I assure you that it's well worth the money. These cables make the picture brighter and much sharper. Some say that it increases the "jaggies", but I haven't had that problem. You would be doing a disservice to yourself and your Wii if you don't pick these up.
Not That Much.......2007-12-04
These cables aren't that good. They do make the Wii Menu look a little better, but they make the 3D looking games worse. You can see more jagged lines, and things. I wouldn't pay $30 for it. If it was $15, it would be okay.

Cable WORKS with my Plasma HDTV .......2007-12-23
you can get 480p signal from your Wii using this cable. Build quality is acceptable and its a good buy. Shipping was quick and packing was good too.
Works as advertised..........2007-12-21
...but I really wish the audio connection cables were longer.
I don't have a TV; I have the Wii attached to my 24" computer monitor, and Logitech surround sound system. It's only by luck that the input "node" for the surround setup is right next to my monitor, and even then I had to go to Radio Shack and get RCA cable extensions, so the audio would reach.
Once plugged in, it works like a champ!
great cable for a steal price.......2007-12-10
I have tried $39 Best Buy cable and it does not come as close as this one. The product quality exceeds what I pay for. This Component Video is a must when I play my Wii game on a 300" projector. Great cable! Highly recommended.
uhmmm... .......2007-12-08
just wondering all you people who gave this cable a bad review and saying component cables don't do anything for the performance, have you tried going to the system settings and changing the screen resolution to 480p and screen ratio to 16:9 instead of 4:3? that might help. and the person who said that the wii comes with component cables... well it doesn't. it comes with av cables which are inferior in today's world. I myself have never used these cables but I know nyko makes quality 3rd party accessories for wii. but any component cables should enhance the picture quality.
It does work.......2007-11-17
I can see noticeable improvements in quality, but it is not great. I wish wii would put out 720p and included a DVD player! I bought it on Amazon, but don't do the same mistake as me! Head over to monoprice and you will get it for less.
Product Description
This high definition component-AV cable is compatible with both PS3 and PS2. On PS3 it offers resolution up to 1080i/720p.
Customer Reviews:
Worth it to get the Sony Brand cables.......2007-12-21
For those who don't know, HDMI and component cables offer much better image quality (clarity, contrast, sharpness) than standard cables (called composite) that are included with the PS3. There has been a trend to manufacture "cheaper" (less quality) component cables as of late, because most people with are opting for HDMI, those who have HD tvs (which i don't happen to have.) I tried a third party manufacturer's ps3 component cable and not only did i get some "static" in the picture quality, but the sony cable produced a much better image. This is because the Sony brand cable is a high quality product (OFC copper and gold connectors.) A component cable will make a huge difference in your movie and game play experience, and I would definitely suggest getting a good one, like this one from Sony, versus other "poorer" quality cables offered by other companies.
These Component Cables provide a high quality picture.......2007-11-30
These cables look and feel high quality and give a high quality picture. You will need to adjust your contrast/brightness settings once you use these cables to get the best picture.
For some reason when I hook up the Ps3 to my tv via HDMI I get terrible color banding.
So I was forced to buy these for a fix. I was expecting a big picture downgrade, but you dont lose much. HDMI however is better, crisper and sharper picture. I've seen some tvs hooked up with cheap component cables where the color looks washed out and theres picture problems. Thats not the case with these cables, you get the feeling that these component cables deliver the absolute best component picture possible.
Great Product.......2007-11-26
I use this for my PS2 on my HD monitor and it works great. Great picture, great price. Highly recommended!
Works perfectly.......2007-11-12
I guess a calbe should work or not work. Well this one works just fine and is has good quality cable and ends.
Same as PS2 one, but better quality.......2007-11-04
I didn't realize that the one I have on my PS2 would work on my PS3 when I ordered this.
I was so impressed by the quality that I kept it and am currently using it (as opposed to using the PS2 one that I already had).
Well made - does the job. BUT if you TV supports HDMI use the HDMI NOT this...
Product Description
If you're connecting your Nintendo Wii to a progressive scan television, then these component cables are a must have. The Nintendo Wii is capable of two graphic resolutions, 480i for basic TVs, and 480p for progressive scan TVs. The switch to progressive scan gaming on the Wii will result in a marked improvement in overall image quality, and you can only enable 480p on the Wii with a set of Wii Component Cables.
Customer Reviews:
Nice component cable for the price........2007-12-24
While the first party component cables may be a little better quality the value is WAY better for the Madcatz cable. Does quality 480p output and makes a big improvement on the Wii games. This one is recommended.
Worth it, if cheaper than the 1st party version.......2007-12-23
The Wii Madcatz component cable has worked as advertised for me. The picture quality from standard to 480p isn't that big of a difference, but on an HD TV, every little bit counts. Admittedly, it does take a little while to adjust your eyes, as everything looks a little oversharpened, but I think that's a function of the Wii and not the cable. I bought the Madcatz version because it was cheaper than the 1st party Nintendo version, and would recommend it if that's the case. However, last I checked, the 1st party version was selling for the same price on Amazon, so I'd jump on the 1st party version if that's the case.
No problems yet.......2007-12-19
Had this product for a couple months and it works to expectations so far. Feels kind of cheap, but that's what one should expect at this price. Anyway, it works fine and that's all that matters, right? Right??
Great cable to bring out the best in your Wii!.......2007-12-14
I bought this cable after reading the reviews from Amazon. I am very happy with the purchase and I did see a lot of improvement in the image quality. I cannot compare it with other cables but this one is definitely a good buy.
Great Amazon seller .......2007-12-02
This product was shipped super fast. I received it two days after I purchased it. Thanks a million!

Great value - the audio cuts out occasionally........2007-12-19
I'm a musician and I use the TuneTalk all the time to record song ideas. It has one annoying flaw...often it cuts out. A second or two are just gone. This is expecially annoying when a song suddenly jumps ahead a few words- there goes the tempo when you're trying to play along.
If anyone knows how to fix or avoid this let me know.
Works with a new "Classic" iPod.......2007-12-02
I don't think it mentions it - but it does work fine with a Classic 80gig iPod. Actually it works extremely well for recording college classes. No issues - easy to operate.
Very nice!.......2007-11-27
I bought this for my girlfriend to record interviews. She was using a micro-cassette recorder, and I figured she could use something a bit more modern and with better sound quality.
The sound quality is more than adequate for this purpose, and is definitely better than I expected for such a low-cost item.
The recordings are a much better quality than the special purpose voice-recorders that are available and it's nice to have the almost unlimited storage of your iPod, instead of having to worry about how much time you have left etc.
Overall, it's not great sounding compared to an expensive dedicated field-recording device, but I don't really expect it to, considering its price. If you're looking for something to capture interviews or lectures or generally get a clear and intelligible recording of something to listen to later, it's an unbelievable value. Highly recommended.
GREAT!!!.......2007-11-24
As a student at a top music conservatory, I use the 'TuneTalk Stereo' all the time!!! It's great for recording lessons, coachings, practice sessions, or actual recordings! The quality is very very good especially for the price and size! It fits perfectly into the bottom of my 80 gig iPod and is very easy to use! I definitely recommend this to anyone... especially music students!!!!
Garbage poorly made.......2007-11-21
Within 15 minutes of attaching the tune talk, while trying to adjust the gain the little plastic widget fell right out of the tune talk thingy. I can't comment on the use of the product since I promptly took it back for a refund. It is so shoddily made that while it might be a great product WHEN it works, I wouldn't spend $60 on something that fell apart in jsut 15 minutes. I am a 45 year old woman, not rough on electronics, so I can only imagine what a student would do to this thing.

Used to connect to TV Component-port for Progressive-Scan video display
Customer Reviews:
Whats the difference?.......2007-11-27
You may be looking at the component cable and wonder which should I get?
Component: Offers the ability to play games on a progressive scan TV (480p, ect.), music, photos, and videos. Overall "better" quality.
D-Terminal: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "better" quality. Rarely used in the USA. (Do not confuse with VGA ports.)(Not sold in the United states.)
S-Video: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "good" quality. (Not sold in the Unite States.)
Composite: Offers the ability to play music, photos, and videos. Overall "okay" quality.
On another note, the PSP's native resolution is 480x272, and when you place that on a 720x480 or higher resolution TV, it will never look as sharp. These cables are nice for taking a PSP to someone's house and showing them videos or photos on their TV, or your TV. The ability to play games is good, although sitting far away playing on a large TV will not work well.
Well worth buying.......2007-11-15
This is a great accesory to buy. I joke with my 3 year old that it a magic cable. The quality of movies is very good on my 55inch plasma eventhough the size is only around 300mb per hour. The game feature is the real reason for buying this. Yes it only takes up half the screen but it my tv is is big enough. If you have a small tv it probably will not be so good for games.
Can work well!!!.......2007-11-01
The Cable can work well in my Sony 32inch LCD TV which only has about 430p
Sony Component Cables work Great.......2007-10-31
The cables work great. They will allow you to view videos, pictures, browse the internet,and play psp games at their native resolution. You can only play PSP games in progressive mode which is the only letdown but besides that, its a great product.
For those who may want to use these in composite oulets. You will receive a black and white picture. Like most other component cables, using the green cable usually acts like the yellow video output. In this case they don't allow you to view color.
Don't buy for games, worth only for video.......2007-10-25
Facts:
- You should know this before hand, only the video output will use your entire TV screen. The games will use only about 60-70% of the screen.
- Also, the games can be output only using this component cable (not the composite cable)
Pros:
- Video quality of CNN podcasts looked great on a 51" TV
- Connecting to the TV and transferring video output to the TV was very easy
- The video controls are rich but OK to use (nothing to do with cable though)
Cons:
- The video quality of the game was bad.
- Madden NFL 08 looked terrible, could hardly make out the plays or the text.

belkin wireless G, some issues........2007-12-18
I have this installed and often I have to reboot the thing to get it to work. A tech frind of mine says I should have went with a LINKSYS. I just may do that.
Not Ready For Prime Time.......2007-12-18
This wifi gateway router technically 'works' but did not at all meet our ordinary domestic needs. We ultimately had to return it.
defective product.......2007-12-08
it was defective, and it has taken about a month to get the refund back. i am very dissapointed because i need the refund before christmas!!!
If you require Tech Support and only speak English - Do Not Buy.......2007-12-05
Earlier today I was attempting to install a Belkin Wireless Router at home. While doing the installation it came to the point where it would not connect to the internet. The set-up software instructed me to call technical support. When I called the number I got a nice lady who spoke very rough English. After many request for her to repeat herself, we finally got it to connect. However, it was moving extremely slow and the set up software did not give me an option to continue through on the set-up. My efforts to explain this to the lady were futile. She kept saying "but you are connected now, thank you." I finally gave up and played with it myself for about 15 minutes. After having no success, I called technical support again and this time got a nice man whom I also could not understand. After a few minutes of laboriously giving him all of my personal information again and then painstakingly going through the basics in my frustrating attempt to explain the problem, I finally gave up and went to the office to work. After that I tried to fax my question in writing to Belkin but the fax number on their website did not work.
I am not a racist and have many multi-cultural friends; however, if you only speak English with a normal midwestern accent you will most likely have problems communicating with the technical support team which I presume is located in India.
pure trash.......2007-12-02
I have fairly new system running XP and I have COMCAST internet service along with their ARIS cable modem. After a weekend of trying to get just the internet to run with this router I called Belkin for help. They walked me through a bunch of steps and the internet finally came on. It stayed on for all of 45 seconds and no amount of resets or re-installs would bring it back. A few more calls to tech support without success got me a replacement unit in the mail. It arrived in a few days. Super service I think. Several more days of set, reset, install, re-install netted me a grand total of three minutes of internet connect. I figured to hell with this. I set it up as a wireless adapter and it worked fine with the other end using a Linksys wireless USB adapter. By the way, the little Linksys unit installed, Zip-Pop, without a hitch. Then I changed the router and adapter between my two computers and I received the same results. Linksys installed on the first try but the Belkin was a real struggle to get running. Things ran good. Remember, no internet just a LAN. OK. Got tired and shut everything down for the night. The next day I fired everything up and would you like to take a WAG as to which unit refused to work? Don't think on it too long. The correct answer is the Belkin, Model F5D7230-4. I just ordered a Linksys unit from Amazon and I am going to give the Belkin to someone that I really hate. That is, if I can find some one like that. It's too damn small for a door stop. Belkins teck support was courteous enough and probably knowleable enough but the product sucks! Go and buy 100 feet of wire. No problems there.

This switch box works!.......2007-12-24
The Cables To Go 40324 3-Play Component Video Digital Audio Selector gave new life to my high definition system. I had run out of component inputs on my HD TV, and TOSlink audio inputs on my audio amplifier.
This switch supports 3 component video devices and their TOSlink audio. Signal quality of both the video and the audio is excellent. The switch handled 15 foot cables without any problems.
I was able to teach the infrared remote control commands to my home theater master remote, and set up macro commands in the home theater remote. That arrangement provides one button switching to any video device in the system.
The lack of support for coaxial digital audio means this switch is not for everyone. But it does its intended job well.
Works Flawlessly.......2007-12-17
The selector works flawlessly. I have an HD-DVD, XBOX 360, and Wii running through it with no sound or video quality loss.
The remote is not the best, but if you have a remote with a learning function, you can program it for the AV selector.
Very good selector and much cheaper than a new receiver.
Great for LCD.......2007-12-16
This is a GREAT item. Needed for my LCD tv and did the job.
Simple, Perfect.......2007-12-14
Great product, clean, small, fits in well doesn't stick out. Doesn't add any noticible picture issues. Codes already in Logitech Harmony software (that's more of a plus for the harmony software) either way very nice. Everything I run through this is at 1080i, again no picture issues at all. Would reccomend for anyone who got into HD too early and doesn't have HDMI and doesn't want to buy a new TV yet.
good, but be careful re mixing digital and analog.......2007-12-08
If you have a mix of analog and digital audio, this unit doesn't help. fir instance, I bought the unit to solve the following issue. I wanted to route the following audio sources into my iPod HiFi speaker:
1. optical from my dvd player
2. analog from my tv player (it has no optical out)
3. optical from my airport express
The Apple HiFi has one input that is of the type that will take either an optical or analog input (but not both at the same time).
So, because the Impact Switcher doesn't convert audio from digital to analog (or vice versa), you must match the output from the Impact unit to your speaker or it won't work.
so, for me - because my idiotic, not that old TV has no optical out - it means that in order to get sound out of it, I have to degrade all of my signals in order to run the TV through the Impact and into the Apple Hi Fi. In other words, my dvd player and airport express have to send analog signals to the Impact.
frustrating.

Customer Reviews:
Didn't work for me!.......2007-12-26
Our older XP Home PC has been the family PC for several years. When I built our new Vista PC, I thought that I had found the perfect solution to automate the job of transferring our files and settings. But no...
I'm sure the cable works OK mechanically, but the Windows Easy Transfer Wizard was simply a dud. It never successfully completed a transfer of all of our files from one PC to the other, and I tried for several days using every combination of settings.
Again, I don't blame Belkin, but Microsoft's wizard tool simply wasn't up to the challenge. I ended up re-installing Vista from disk at one point because my daughter couldn't even logon under her id. At that point, I decided to call it quits.
I hooked up both PCs to our router and manually transferred the files over the network. Applications like MS Office, Quicken, etc, I reinstalled from disk. Slow and manual, but much more satisfying in the end.
Easy Transfer non-transfer.......2007-12-20
My rating for this product is not for the cable itself, but for the braindead Microsoft Easy Transfer application when using the ET Cable. On my XP system I had user data on the 'D' Partition. In Vista the 'D' partition is used for some Vista system recovery stuff. When you use the Easy Transfer application with the ET Cable it moves data from where ever you had it on the source system (XP in my case)to the corresponding location on the target (Vista) system. The 'D' partition size in Vista is 10 GB, about 7 GB of which is used, so after transferring approx 3 GB of data you get a filespace error.
When you use removable media (e.g., CD, thumb drive) you evidently get a choice of where to put the data on the target system but not when the ET Cable is used,
If you have data on the 'D' partition on your source system, save yourself the $30.00 for the cable and invest it in a 4GB or 8GB thumb drive.

Belkin Easy Transfer Cable for Windows Vista .......2007-12-13
Extremely easy to use. Comes with its own CD. One needs to remember that two monitors are needed to accomplish file transfer, one for the old XP computer, the other for the new Vista computer. Transfer requires that each computer has a USB port available. Programs cannot be transferred using the software supplied. There is a beta version of a program transfer system available from Microsoft but I have not dared to try it yet.
Easy Mover.......2007-12-10
Used the Belkin Easy Mover to transfer files from Windows XP to new Vista computer. It worked easily and was sucessful. The Laplink system is way too complicated and not worth the effort.

Great Product.......2007-12-06
this is probably a good length to get. i tried it out on my ps3, and it worked flawlessly. a little bit of motion blur, but that was caused from the TV. has a nice thickness to the cord, will last a long time.

A quality cable but there are cheaper.......2007-11-30
I've always had good results with the Belkin name so when I decided to upgrade to HDMI I went with them. The prices are better then what you will find in a brick and mortar store but there are cheaper.
The cable is well made and high quality. I had no problem with picture quality or connection issues when setting everything up and like the feel of the cables.
I had a lot of components to hookup so next purchase I decided to try out a cheaper cable that had good reviews. I ended up getting a few of these, Cables To Go - 40315 - 2M (6.5ft) Velocity HDMI Digital Video Cable (Blue), and was not disappointed. They are flimsier than the Belkins but are still a good quality cable. If you'll never touch the cables again after hooking everything else up go with the Velocity but if you plan to mess with the cables on a regular basis the Belkin might be a better idea for you.
Does what is expected.......2007-08-06
I expected this to work out of the box and it did. No problems with my system.
Never received it..........2007-01-20
Two stars because I never received it. Sellers website said it was an in stock item. After two weeks of waiting I called and finally got to talk to a real person that said the item I ordered was not in stock. They did however refund my credit card. So now I am waiting for the same item from another company. I'm just glad it wasn't life saving equipment.
