[QUOTE="kinchyuk, post: 32979, member: 17872"] Hi all, Got a PNY Geforce 6200 128M this morning, and while in the process of wiring it up I noticed the S-Vid cable supplied (1m S-Vid -> S-Vid) wouldn't fit the connector on the back. About an hour later after turning the place upside down and looking down the back of the sofa in case I'd misplaced an adaptor or something, and no luck. So I tried the S-Vid -> Composite adaptor - that didn't fit either. So.. I called PNY in France. They reliably inform me that I should have had an S-Vid connector that had no plastic key in it on both leads. I'm going to return the card to Ebuyer and see what happens next. Now comes the twist. Never one for patience, I went shopping this afternoon and got a PNY Geforce 6600 256M card. The connector on the back is a standard S-Vid connector, as are the cables. The one on the 6200 appears to be a 9-pin connector, so I wonder whether I'm missing the HDTV breakout box or something? The fact that the 6600 came wrapped in foam and the 6200 box was rattling when I got it makes me wonder whether it's been returned previously. PNY were certain that it's a cable issue, but I wonder.. Any thoughts? OK so it's not gonna stop me sleeping at night but if someone can explain it all to me it'd satisfy my curiosity :) Alex [/QUOTE]
