I have a JVC CDG player and I use that RCA video output. Assuming the second TV (that the audience watches) has RCA inputs, how can I split the signal without losing any signal? I really don't want to have to use an RF modulator and go coax again. |

If you are just splitting into a couple of sets, then just get a y adapter, 1 RCA male to 2 RCA female. If you need to go more, then they make amplified RCA splitters, Rat Shack sells them. |

a normal rca splitter is designed to do that without too much signal degredation. Where the problem happens is when you do that over and over!! http://www.cobaltcable.com/product/y_splitter.htm 
This is a good unit... it gets pricey when you have to run into several feet of length! Your average Radio Shack should have a comparible splitter if you're looking for a smaller length unit! Something like this http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?c ... id=42-2536 |

Someone correct me if I am wrong but do be careful when you choose a cable. There are two types of RCA connector cables, audio and video. They do transmit a different frequencies and may be not compatible with each other. I know personally I have tried to connect the audio RCA cable on video signal and got nothing out of it. When you get a splitter, make sure it can support video before you buy it. |

The only difference between standard audio & video cable is the shielding, & even then there isn't much difference there. I use standard RCA audio cable for video all the time with no problems. The person selling it will tell you otherwise because video cable is generally more expensive. Unless your were trying to use the RCA cable in place of COAX - then yes, you probably wouldn't have gotten much of a signal. |

absolutely!!! Also, if you go with gold connectors, many times they'll help with the lessening of interference. The more connectors you have in the line, the worse it'll be. But for Video, there's not that much you need to worry about, UNLESS you're trying to convert OFF coax! |

New place, so I'm not sure what they have...I don't think they do either. Anyway, I will probably have to run about 15 feet of line or so. I want to be able to leave an RCA cable there and just hook it up when I have to. I had a RCA signal booster once, and (it may have been the way I hooked it up) it created a loud buzzing sound, so I had to go coax. |

don't know why you would need a signal booster per se. BUT extended lengths of rca will weaken the signal. If you want to leave a permament set up, I WOULD go ahead and do it with coax! |
