What is component out

[Gary Z]

Would a standard audio video cable work? What does a component cable look like?

They look like an RCA plug.

As stated earlier, the cables are more or less fancy RCA cables.

I actually used 3 RCA cables (temporarily) to test my neighbor's component input from an HD source. It worked, but the picture definitely improved when we changed them to the gold-plated cables designed for component video.

Do you know if the RCA Cables will work as a permanent setup between a Standard definition receiver and standard definition tv? I bought a Standard definition TV with a digital tuner and I was think about using the component inputs to connect to my receiver.

I have used the standard ones before without any problems. It certainly won't damage it.

Thanks I will try it.

 

[Gary Z]

I tried it, much better picture quality then S-Video.

I had an 811 hooked up that with with no problems at all.
