No, nothing is terminated. Don't even know how I would do that ;) or maybe 
they even are terminated and I just don't know it. 

Nevertheless, it works now, both RGB and SPDIF!

As to SPDIF, I created a kindof shield to the pin4 cable. Just wrapped lots of 
aluminium (folie) around the small cable. Now , the interference is gone and 
SPDIF is working. Very "spacy" look now ;)

BTW, I would like to learn a little about soldering and electronics (from a 
practical approach) or in other words I need some kindof guide how to handle 
a soldering device. and how and why i need termination of signals and so on. 
So if anyone knows some good webpages, please let me know.
