As NES owners probably know, the system only has mono sound (red plug). I was wondering if it's possible to get at least sound out of two speakers. Are there Y-cables or something for that? I'm aware that the sound will remain mono, but it's a lot better when it comes from the left and right speaker heh

Yeah all you need is a Phono to Phono Y-Lead, available from any decent hi-fi or av store.
If you want pseudo stereo... then all you need are two graphic equalisers feed the audio input from the Y cable into them and change the equalisers so the first one is full up, full down, full up, etc and the other is full down, full up, full down, etc... then you'll get an effect that sounds like Stereo.

There's another store I have in my head, but if that one doesn't have a clue either then I don't know what to do...

What's a decent av store then? Went to one again yesterday and they kept telling me such cables don't exist!
Nope course it doesn't exist, figment of my imagination...
Decent one is one that knows a phono y cable or splitter, look Maplin sell two...
The first allows you to use your own stereo phono cables
cat num : NZ46A
The second is a 2.5m cable... (should be long enough...)
Cat num : TB58N

I wasn't implying that I didn't believe you
It just bugs me that all those stores don't seem to know anything!
They even told me that there's no quality difference when using an A/V block on a s-video cable to connect it to a SCART socket, while I later found out it transfers the signal to composite ft:
It's really annoying they don't know what they're talking about (and act like they do know everything).

However twisting the Chromance and Lumiance signals together makes (unbalanced) Composite video and some blocks do do this...

Originally posted by MDNot quite true, SCART can accept S-Video and those blocks allow you to use standard 4 pin mini din S-Video cables.

Well, now I don't know what info is true

The SCART blocks don't convert them (although there are ones that do but they are normally sold as S-Video > Composite convertors). Decent switched ones will put S-Video through the block. If you use them on TVs without s-video then you'll get a B&W picture, else if its a convertor block a poor composite signal..
