Can you substitute video cable for audio cable?
Assuming the video cable has the right connectors, probably RCA type (phono connectors) then it can be used for audio signals. In fact, some high end audio interlinking cables use video cable because it is claimed that they work better than standard audio cable. (Note that this is the subject of fierce debate among audiophiles and there is no proof that video cable is an improvement on audio cable for audio signals) Using audio cable for video can also be done up to a point. For short connections, up to a few feet or a couple of metres, an audio cable will work just fine. As the length of the lead increases, the cable will begin to interfere with the video signal and cause loss of definition or ghost images. Substituting the cables will not cause damage to equipment, so it is safe to try it. If it looks or sounds like it works, then it works!
What type of cables an be used to connect audio video equipment?
The type of cable used to connect audio video equipment will be dependent on whether or not one is using HD or not. If one is using HD equipment, then an HDMI cable can work. If not, then look for an S-Video cable. A local Best Buy can personally help one in their decision.
Can you use an video cable for audio?
For short signal runs, audio cable can be used for video without any issues. As the length of cable increases, it become more important to use cable that is designed for video signals. For most video signals, this will be a 75 ohm co-ax cable such as RG59. There will only be a noticeable difference in quality once the cable length exceeds 10 to 20 feet.

What is a scart cable for?
A scart cable is a multi-pin video and audio connector common in Europe. The cable can carry audio, composite video, S-video, RGB and component video as well as a limited amount of control data. Used for connecting video recorders to televisions, it also supports return video )i.e from the television to the recorder). The connector was only used in domestic video installations and never in a commercial environment. The connector was prone to reliability problems as the weight of the cable was sometimes able to dislodge the connector. Scart connectors are now giving way to HDMI and becoming less common on new equipment.
