Hey Fizzle,
:up I agree with Euro on the composite video. If you want the maximum performance out of this connection spend a little money on quality video cables. You do not need $3000 in Monster cables or a $3 Walmart cable, get something in between. A decent shielded video cable will help keep that video crisp right up and into the TV!

Here's my take on video cable. Monster is a good cable but way overpriced been there done it. What I do is make my own cables I get a good cable that has a foil and braid shield and solider my own rca plugs or S video plugs on them. Belden makes very good cable. Just stay away from those real skinny jokes. I picked up some RCA cables recently from Satellite AV when they ran there sale for $.25 cents each. They were 75 ohm and work very well. I was impressed with the quality for the price. Ended up with 8 RCA and 3 S video.
Those are something like Satellite AV has they will work well. If you want something a bit better get something with a Foil Shield and a Braid. The secret is you want 75 ohm and good shielding. Don't get taken in by all the hype of ni-gas injected dielectric.
Good point!
I should correct my last post on the $3 Walmart cable... Stay away from the quality of $3 Walmart cables meaning the thin non shielded kind. Some decent quality cables are really affordable (Cheap!) like Fizzey and tvropro both posted.
For composite or component cables you can also make up a RG-6 cable with F connectors then use F to RCA adapters on both ends. Some dollar stores have the F to RCA adapters. (I have not tried this but many rave about this for good long run cables)
For S cables, good shielding makes a difference as the signals are very small and any noise can make a big difference. I have tried a dollar store cable and a good well shielded cable on a DVD player and saw a noticable difference in the picture.
The S video signal levels are as follows
Brightness: 1Vp-p,75ohms
Chroma: 0.286Vp-p,75ohms(NTSC)

I use RG6 with F connectors to run a secondary pair of composite video out's from my 4DTV and Pansat to my 27" Toshiba tv/monitor in my living room from my media center. It works very well. RG6 is perfect for making video cables except you can't solider the aluminum braid and must use a special set up for the ends. They make RG6 with copper clad/tinned braid over the foil. That stuff is the winning ticket for solidered ends.
+1
instead of adding svideo or component to your 905, why not add 3 wheelbarrows full of dirt to cover the big hole left in your neighbors yard.
how about 5 wheel barow's?
the leaves will fill in and decay, the hole will fill itself in, in about 5 years, so im not going to worry about it

maybe youll grow up in 5 years, but im sure no one on this board expects it. jeez what is your problem to think your rightfully entitled to your neighbors property? your making friends all over this board
