Competitively priced set with two frequently used cables

The "AmazonBasics" series provides numerous accessory products at a fair price and no frills. In addition, the packaging is reduced to the bare essentials: a simple little cardboard box containing the product - instead of the usual glossy inserts in vexatious welded thick plastic. This not only saves money but also valuable resources - and avoids unnecessary waste, which must be after consuming supplied to a recycling.

This set contains two cables that almost everywhere in the home theater can be used.

The 3D-capable HDMI cable connects components such as Blu-ray player and flat-screen TV. On top of that there is Ethernet capable. This means that the equipment used, which feature a private network connection, do not need to be individually connected to the home network or Internet connection - provided that each of these devices is via HDMI networkable (which is given in the relevant specification and many already the case). Thus, it is sufficient only one of the devices in the chain network standard to link (LAN cable or via wireless). The other get through the Ethernet-capable HDMI cable required information. Already with three components (BluRay, TV, AV receiver) saves the two cables. The build quality of the AmazonBasics cable I find perfectly. Restrictions or even disturbances of picture and sound, I have on my home theater system (including with Sony VPL-HW30ES 3D home theater projector (SXRD, Contrast 70000: 1, 1920x1080 pixels, 1300 ANSI lumens) black) I can not find even not in the 3D playback.

The optical cable also included in the set is designed exclusively for audio use, where it is needed, where one of the connected display devices do not have an HDMI port features (CD player) or if the AV receiver as a home theater Control Center no 3D signals to can reach through TV or projector. In the latter case the BluRay player is directly connected via HDMI to the projector or TV set, the sound passes through the optical output to an optical input on your home theater receiver / amplifier. High-resolution sound variants like Dolby TrueHD or DTS HD Master Audio are so only with their "core", ie in a reduced resolution, reproduced. Also, the optical cable makes a very good impression and works flawlessly.

All those who do not want to exhaust standard cable to the last ounce of your home theater, find with this set a good opportunity to connect the individual devices together. Because quality, workmanship, price and also the ecology completely agree here in sum, there is of me five stars.
