I have a Wii that I need to connect to my Vizio E550i-B2. If I buy this cable, where do I insert the video portion? I also have HD cables connected.

I looked up your television model you only have one slot for component cables just plug in the matching colors red to red white to white green to green blue to blue etc. Cables work great. Make sure to change wii settings to 480p under settings

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

The cable is connected to the composite inputs of the TV. Green cable to y/v, Blue goes to pb/cb, Red goes to Pr/cr inputs. Those 3 are for the vidio. The Red and White marked audio, go to the Right and Left Audio Inputs. Hope this helps

The visio vht215 connects to the HDTV (not the dvd/video player), so when you select to watch a dvd the TV handles the transfer automatically thru the HDTV. I have a Vizio HD TV also and this is how it works, my player is not a vizio but a panasonic. The sould bar is fantastic!!

It is an HDMI micro connector, if you open the little door. The manual says:Connection via HDMI cable1 On the camera, select the digital signal format that will be connected ([480p/576p]/[720p]/[1080i]).2 Connect the TV and camera.3 Turn on the TV, and change "INPUT" to "VIDEO (an input jack connected to the camera)".4 Turn on the camera, and use arrows to select the image for playback.So you can basically show your images on a TV by directly connecting the camera.Are you saying you have connected a cable to a TV and you see nothing? You also have to set the TV to the right input... It is an HDMI micro connector, if you open the little door.

The HDMI cable has an input on back straight into the sound bar and there is an output HDMI jack that feeds from the soundbar back to the TV using another HDMI cable. There is also audio cable included that can feed audio from the tv to an auxillary input on the back of the soundbar. I hooked up a Wii game system also, that has Netflex using the audio cable for sound from the tv to the soundbar. You have to switch the soundbar from HDMI to auxillary when I use the audio cables for the Wii, and it works great. I don't believe that the non-HDMI input audio can be sent through an HDMI output, you would have to use the audio cables into the auxillary I believe.

Lots of info on the wiki link. However, I did not find answers to these basic questions:* Is there a better connection when the ends are NOT gold-plated?* It seems, + correct me if I'm mistaken, that what type of HDMI cable you get (e.g. 1.3 vs 1.4) depends on the device you're hooking up (its type of connectors). Please confirm or clarify.* Also, what is wikipedia talking about when they say that in 2012, then numbers (e.g. 1.4) will have to be removed?THANKS!

You need to use a HDMI cable to go and set the TV to HDMI setting. Better yet. plug it directly into the TV using a short HDMI cable and it will wirelessly connect to your modem. That is if you have a wireless modem. I have 3 TV's all connecting wirelessly to the internet modem through these type box's. This VIZIO is better then the Amazon Fire.

the piece is really simple to use. plug it into the back of your Wii, plug the hdmi cable from the Wii to the TV. If you have sound from your TV from shows and movies, you will get sound from the games you play. I hope that helps.

you may have two HDMI ports on the back or side of your TV. I would verify which port your plugged into, then set the input for that port. Also, check your connection at the game to assure everything is securely connected. For my Wii I had to have this adapter plus a new HDMI cord to go to the TV. My Satellite box was plugged to HDMI 1, and now my game is plugged into HDMI 2. Hope that helps.

My answer is the same as the other four. In a word, "yes". You simply plug the WII into the input and up to four other components, including your TV and projector, into any of the outputs. This device is an amplifier, not just a "splitter". It will provide strong signals to your other devices, even where long cable runs need to be made. We've been using ours for several years and it's still going strong.

Thanks David your pictures helped too. I used a string to pull the Vizio Cables through. I used the tape because the mounting forks would not fit flush against the back of the Vizio speaker because the male connector is WAY too thick. If I replaced the supplied cables with thinner connectors the forks would stick out of the front of the stand and would need to cut shorter. Also the neither of the supplied mounting screw sets fit the threads of the speaker, so I would need to get new screws too. So it was just easier to use the doubled sided tape, which works fine!

My Visio E551i-A2 just stopped working with Amazon Video. I called Amazon video and they told me "Sorry, we just changed the streaming format and your Vizio is no longer compatible."

I assume you would need such a part that is compatible with the Wii, although I do not know of such a part. Also you could achieve the same effect by purchasing an extender and placing it close to the Wii.

No. It's very simple, just plug the convertor into the wii and connect the HDMI cable from the convertor to the television input. That's it you're done and it works great!

I bought it to connect an older DVD/VCR player to my new Vizio TV. There were no available imputs to connect the unit so I took a chance. It works perfectly for my needs. It upscales old movies and discs to near HD quality. For me, it's a great solution. The connections I needed were simple RCA and none were available on my TV so this fit the bill. I hope this helps.

I don't yet own this surround unit, but I think you have to purchase a separate HDMI cable. I purchased the wrong Panasonic Blue Ray player and found it didn't have the HDMI connection, so I returned it.

The back of the unit is very well labelled. Are you referring to an HDMI cord? If so, that's what I hooked into the back of mine. And like I said, look at the back of the unit; you can determine where to hook into it.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?
