I am helping a friend set up a new TV (brand new Panasonic 720p plasma).

Bought cables at Monoprice for the component video from the cable box and the Wii.

The RCA connections all around are not "tight". I perceive this as a cable quality problem, which is very surprising.

Does it make sense to simply squeeze the outer ring of the RCA connector a little with pliers? Or would you just send the cables back?

Thanks.
