Rating: - Nitrogen gas-injected for clearest picture???????
Okay, when i bought the stuff it said Nitrogen gas-injected dielectric insulator delivers maximum video signal strength for the clearest picture possible. 1) av jacks aren't the clearest, 2)i dont see a difference from my stock av cables and these monster cable ones. 3) The dolby digital works when you buy a cable, i mean what the heck, why would i wanna buy another cable, the fiber optic one plus this one plus tax is like $50. i just suggest you get the component cables, not theese av ones. the S-video ones are okay, but i wouldn't reccomend them. EVEN THOUGH monster cable has the best cables this one is a dissapointment.
Rating: - Dont buy this product!
I recently purchased the Gamelink 200X and the Lightwave 100X for my Xbox and I must say that I would like to know how can Monster claim that their hookup cables put out a dolby digital signal when the fiber optic cable (100X)plugs into an adapter which then plugs into the A/V cable (200X). This adapter has a headphone style connector which isnt capable of producing a 5.1 surround signal compared to a toslink connector. Therefore, an A/V receiver does not encode the signal as a dolby digital source, rather it interprets is as Analog/PCM or stereo sound. I must say that I have been extremely happy with all of my other Monster purchases. I have all my home theater components wired with Monster, but this product falls well below my expectation.
Rating: - Dolby Digital did not work!
For a company that prides itself on having the best audio and video wires monster made one mistake. They forgot to make sure their product works before they shipped it out. I hooked up my xbox to the game link 200x and monster audio light link 100x and everything video wise was fine. yet I could not turn on the dolby digital in the dash. It seems the xbox did not aknowlege the dolby digital output of the monster cables. For something that costs almost 15 dollars more then the offical xbox packs it should work better and more efficently, but maybe this once i should have gone with the cheaper cables.
Rating: - remember
the cable is good but what i liked about it is that it is like 10 feet long so i could play any where, thats what the box says, but you got to remember, all the ac cables are like half the size of the monster cable so if your planing on sitting far away forget it.
Rating: - The cable doesn't work as advestised
I bought this cable in conjunction with the XGL-LW100, and Dolby Digital simply did not work. This was not the case of me not setting the option in Dashboard - Settings, the XBOX simply did not recognize this cable as implementing Dolby Digital. This is very disappointing, I have been a loyal Monster Cable customer for as long as I can remember, and their product simply didn't work here. Microsoft XBOX support knows of these problems, and the tell you to get the Microsoft kits, so buyer beware on these Monster Cable solutions, they don't work on all XBOX's.
I returned both the XGL200 and the XGL-LW100 for the Microsoft Advanced AV kit and got Acoustic Research fiber cable and gold plated RCA video cable and I enjoy Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS from my XBOX now. One other thing to set straight is that the Microsoft Advanced AV kit includes the breakout box and basic cables to hook up S-Video and RCA audio, but not a fiber cable or RCA video cable.
