Nothing like learning on the fly, is there. So, I now know that s-video is video only and that I need to connect the audio separately. The DVD has a 'Mixed audio out' which has 2 sockets marked left and right. The TV also has 2 audio sockets, marked beneath the grime, as left and right.

Now, quality of cables. PC World has a BELKIN PRO GOLD SERIES S-VIDEO CABLE, 3.6 m, at £10. A bit of quick googling gives me Cable Universe with a S-Video Plug - S-Video Plug (Gold plated) 3 metre at £1.88 (ex VAT?). I know which one appeals to me, but is price everything? However, using TV speakers do I really need gold plated, oxygen-free copper at hundreds of pounds per metre?

PS Thanks for all the replies.
