I got this cable to attach my xbox to my newly purchased LCD TV. The native xbox cables do not produce the same quality of signal. There are no gaps in the signal or snowy lines. It does exactly as it sates. The images are great. This product is worth the money.
I recommend ditching this and purchasing the HD Pack to get the Digital Audio (S/PDIF) and the Component Outs (Y/Cb/Cr). I used the "Advanced A/V Pack" for many years and never realized back when I purchased it that S-Video was only capable of 480i Standard Definition (SD) resolution. For some reason I must have thought that S-Video was capable of 480p/720p/1080i back then.In any event, you really need component cables to get that HD Quality video playback.
I got this for two reasons:1) I noticed that my dvd player delivered cleaner video with an S-Video connection, so i wanted that for my XBox.2) I wanted to play Halo in surround sound.I am completely satisfied.p.s. - After you connect this to your surround sound, make sure to go into the Audio menu from the XBox console to set up surround sound options. Otherwise, you'll only get stereo.
I highly recommend this adapter. It is absolutely amazing. Using the Advanced AV Adapter with a fiber optic cable gives you true dolby 5.1 sound (assuming you have a surround sound system). I've tested Halo and PGR2 with the new setup and it adds a new whole dimension to both games. Using the S-video connection will also improve your picture quality: unfortunately it does not have component connections (red, blue, green) for the very best video quality.
