Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Philips PH61071 Component-Video Cable (6 Feet)
Customer Review: Just what I needed
Summary: 4 Stars
This was just what I was looking for. Works fine for my TV and an excellent valueCustomer Review: Works, but limitedly
Summary: 3 Stars
Works on my older Sony DVD player, but does not work on either of my Cyber Home DVD player or recorder. I don't know if this is a problem with the Cyber Home (a real possibility) or with the cables themselves.Customer Review: Good cable
Summary: 3 Stars
Cable transmits signal as expected. Casing on cable is very thick and not very flexible. Makes it difficult to wind the cable around tight corners.Customer Review: Not as good as other, higher priced, cables
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these cheaper cables thinking that all that talk about gold plated terminals, silver content solder, etc. found on other cables was just a way of justifying a higher price. But when I compared the performance of these Phillips cables with Monster THX 500 cables (bought at Radio Shack) and Radio Shack brand cables using my (non digital, low def) Panasonic DVD recorder/player I found that the Phillips cables gave the least bright, least colored, image of the bunch. The monster cables were clearly the best. I would have saved some money by adjusting the TV settings if it were only a matter of color saturation, but I figured ramping up the backlight setting to the max to compensate for the dim image probably wouldn't be that good for the tv.
Funnily enough, when I did the same test with an older Panasonic DVD player, the original composite cable gave the best image. Go figure.
Customer Review: Blue Screen!
Summary: 1 Stars
I've just purchased these cables, guiding myself on the good reviews. I set up the dvd and tv and to my surprise the movie looks blue!, i feel like i'm watching the smurfs. If I try different combinations I get black and white, red and blue. I connected the cables correctly so I don't know if my cables are defective or whats the problem. And thanks for robinw who pointed out the problem:

I've experienced this problem before. It's actually caused by the DVD player, not the cable. By changing your DVD player's output into "Component output" (it's somewhere hidden in your DVD player's menu) should solve this problem
