Any advantage to using this instead of a cable with rgb plugs at both ends (given that my DVD player has only the 3 rbg plugs for video output)?

I use this (vga) from the laptop to the rgb into the tv. The laptop has HDMI but the tv doesn't so this was my only solution. If both devices have rgb then I don't believe that there is any real advantage. Good luck, JK

Yes, if you are only using RCA (Red, White, and Yellow) cables, then connect the yellow to the green inputs. Then, similarly connect the yellow from the green out to the TV. However, you cannot mix and match yellow video inputs and component (R, G, B) video. For example, if you connect the component video out to a high definition TV, the picture will be black and white if some inputs are component video (R, G, B) and some are only yellow connected to a green input (red and blue have no inputs). Either use all component video (R, G, B) or use only yellow for inputs/output.

No. There are 3 ways you can hook up a DVD player, the HDMI being the best. RCA cable is one of the options.

There is one 5 plug component cable port in the back. Recommend you not use it. With a TV screen that big you are amplifying the poor resolution of component cables and DVD. On a smaller set the resolution looks good, but on this big screen I am afraid it will show poorly. If you want good results, step up to bluray with HDMI where it will up - convert the resolution allowing the TV to shine.

If your DVD has an optical Toslink audio output and your TV has a digital coax audio input, then yes, this is the proper device.However, if you're talking about connecting a DVD player for both audio/video to a standard coax cable/antenna input, then no, this is the wrong device. To do that...If your DVD player has composite output (red/white/yellow plugset), use Audiovox part # CRF907RIf your DVD player has component (red/white/red/green/blue) or HDMI, you probably should return the DVD player and find one that supports composite video, or you should probably replace the TV.

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

Sorry, but don't know what the difference is. But, I can only say that it works fine with my new LED TV, DVD player, and U-verse cable box.

yeah 3 ways to do it depending on you player.composite cables white ,red and yellow or the component cable (red, green, blue) or hdmi

It worked best for me to use the cable included so I did not anything else. I hooked the projector to the DVD player And the DVD player to the sound bar and it works very well.

I'm using it to output from Plasma TV with only a fiber optic output (so I had to use a Toslink converter) and from my wii console so I can get TV sound and game sound to my sound bar which only has the RCA input (no fiber optic or HDMI inputs) I don't lose any sound quality at all. I can't guarantee you won't because I'm using it for a totally different use. This is a toggle..so only one circuit works at a time.

Yes that is true. I have a computer and dvd player connected, and I can manually switch between the two sources. And, yes it sends the one input (the one you select, input 1 or 2) or same signal to two HDMI sources.

Dear Customer,Thank you for your question regarding our cables. Yes, the cable should work. One thing to note, the "Input" end goes into devices such as the DVD player, cable box or a gaming console and the "Output" end goes to display devices like the TV. The cable has "Input" and "Output" written at the connector ends. Please refer to image 6 from our Amazon product page.

I used this cable to connect the HDMI output of my DVD player to the DVI input of my control amp. Then I used another (same type of cable as the first) and connected the DVI output of my control amp to the HDMI input of my HDTV. So, I would answer your question as it can be used as both.

I'm glad you asked that question. I am having the same problem hooking up an older VCR and DVD, and my new LG TV has only one set of red, white and yellow plugs, which I had to use with my Roku 2, ( I didn't want t use the HDMI, uses too much Mbps? from wi-fi) with this I can now hook them up. Thanks

No problem. I presume you are using an RCA output (like from a dvd player Left Right RCA jacks) to go into a mini input (like the back of a computer where it says Line In) Nearly all cables work both ways. Well, except some super long ones with built in amplifiers (like top quality 50' HDMI cables) or special radio frequency filters/transformers/adapters (the lump at the end of a cable before the connector) or microphones for impedance matching and the like.

No. Component cables (Red/Blue/Green) are only video signals. Each one represents a different set of pixels and colors. All three together equals only a video signal, and unless you want to just plug in the Green one and have a black and white screen, I would suggest buying a component switch instead, such as this one: Monoprice 103027 4-Port Component Video Switch with IR Learning

If you are trying to hook up any sort of composite device designed for a TV, (DVD player, game console) then this will not work when connecting it to a VGA monitor. It will not support the video as this cord is only designed for VGA out / composite in. You need a converter that supports composite out / VGA in. I did some research and ordered this just the other day. This is what you need to hook composite (Yellow, Red, White) to your VGA monitor. MyGica V2VPro Video to VGA Converter / Video SwitcherNote - that will not output sound. You need another method to get the sound out - consider buying a RCA to 3.5mm Audio jack adapter and plug those into some speakers. Hope that helps!
