The answer is YES & NO !
1. Simply because there are 2 popular modes of the Component systems
Progressive vs. interlaced component video
2. One will work and the other will create a distortion/interference since the signal is strong and that is why a 75 ohms coaxial is used.
3. we had several incidents when we connected a DVD player to a TV, one time it was perfect, another we get a distorted, another we got a fuzzy black and white result, but the most severe case was when we burned out a satellite receiver (it happened at the same time we were connecting)
Personally, I believe try it as a stand alone without any other device being connected to the TV.
4. This should not be an issue with top brand peripherals

∙ 11y agoYes it is possible but speaker wire is made to carry high current. Audio line level signals do not need the high current capability but they typically use a cable that is screened to prevent noise being picked up along the length of the cable. The screen is typically a copper braid or a foil around the outside of the conductors.
For very short cable lengths, speaker cable is likely to work without too many issues.

∙ 13y agoYes, you can. Component video (YPbPr) cables are made to a little higher standard than most of the rest (though your results may vary). Most Component video cables must be made to match the impedance of the devices (in practice - 75 ohms) and the characteristics of the high frequency video signal being sent. This is done to prevent reflections on the cable itself, which, while potentially harmful to devices, generally generate unpleasant video effects, such as 'ringing', and just worsen the image quality considerably.
For audio, the impedance doesn't matter that much (audio is a signal with an overall frequency significantly lower than that of component video), but your sound system (and your ears) will appreciate the extra quality in cable design. But if you can, always try to buy cabling designed for specific purposes, though.

∙ 13y agoFor a short cable run, an AV cable with one video and two audio connectors will work fine. Audio cable is not the correct choice for video signals but most short AV cables don't use video cable for the video signal anyway.
If you are going to the trouble of using component video, for any runs more than a few feet it's worth getting cables made with 75 ohm co-ax cable. It's what the signal likes and it will preserve the quality of the component signal far better than cheap, screened AV cable sets.

How do you hook up a DVR when you have a satellite TV box?
The following procedure may vary, depending on if you have Dish Network or DirecTv. Connect one or two tuners to the "satallite in" on your DVR. Two is necessary in order to record two shows at once. Then, if you are working with standard definition, connect a yellow composite cable as well as two RCA audio cables to the TV and DVR. If you are working with High Definition, connect a set of component cables (blue, green, red) as well as two RCA audio cables to the DVR and TV. Also, you can connect an HDMI cable to the TV and DVR, which allows for HD video and audio to your tv with one cable. For more info on these cables and what they do, go into your local electronics store. Hope this helps and good luck!
AV cables definition?
"A/V cables" (or any variation thereon) means audio/video cables. These cables carry sound and picture within the home for almost all home-entertainment equipment, such as televisions, VCRs, and DVD players. They are even used directly or with a plug adapter by other devices such as video cameras or game machines. Until recently, the nomenclature referred only to the set of three A/V cables with one for picture (video), and two for stereo sound (audio). These cables are of the shielded type, terminated with a male connector, called a phono plug or RCA plug, on each end. The carried signals are all analog; the video signal carried is called composite video. Cable manufacturers color-code the cables or the connectors as follows: yellow for video, red for right-channel sound, and black for left-channel sound. But with the arrival of newer means of and standards for carrying sound and picture over wires, "A/V cables" can refer to any combination of wire types carrying sound and picture. Some other standards and technologies are S-video, component video, digital audio, digital optical audio, DVI video, and HDMI audio/video.
What are the Disadvantages of fiber optic cable?
It's very expensive, and difficult to splice two cables together.
What is the role in electronics of a cat 5 cable?
A Cat 5 cable is an Ethernet cable, used in computer networks. Cat 5 cables are designed for high signal integrity, and can carry two separate telephone lines.
What are the two parts of an audio connector?
The two parts of an audio connector are the jack and the plug.
Does one HDMI cable from your tv to your cable set top box handle both the video and the audio or do you still need two separate cables like you would using component cables?
HDMI cables carry both video and audio. You only need one.
What are those cords called ..The colored ones that you connect to your television for video and audio to work?
They can be called A/V cables and ones for HDTV are called component video cables. They all have RCA type plugs and the yellow is video and the red and white are audio on A/V cables. Component Video cable have two additional cables for HD Video signal besides the yellow one.
Component Cable?
Component cables do not carry audio signals. However, you will find that they are bundled with audio cables most of the time. These are usually cheap products, varying from about 5 to 10 dollars. Don't be fooled by "gold plated" or any metal plated cables, because they all work the same, without loss of quality for cheaper ones.

How many pins do RCA cables have?
RCA cables may vary depending on their intended use. For example, the most common type of RCA cable includes 3 pins on each end. These pins are divided into audio (2) and video (1). The two audio pins transmit the left and right stereo audio channels while the yellow marked pin carries the video signal. Other common configuration is to have separate cables for audio and video. In this case, the audio cable will be divided into two for the left and right audio while still being a single cable, and the yellow cable will carry the video feed.
What is conclusion of crossover cable?
it connects two cables
Can you get cat 6 crossover cables?
Yes you can get a crossover cable for any of the Ethernet cable series on one end of the cable two of the smaller cables inside are crossed over so they are not straight through cables
How do you connect a Wii to a Samsung 7000 series Smart TV?
All 7000-series models come with two component and two composite video inputs. Using the cable that comes with the console you should be able to connect your Wii to one of the composite inputs. (These have a yellow port for video, plus a white and red port for audio. These are usually labelled as A/V or S-Video.) If you have a Wii component cable (a cable with red, green and blue connectors for video plus red and white for audio) this can be connected to the component port. The Wii does not support HDMI.
Does a Yamaha htr 5830 have HD?
I'm not sure what you mean by "HD," but I've owned this receiver for almost two years and here's what it does have - two Optical and one coax digital audio inputs - two component video inputs and one component video output these two features can be classified as HD as component video is rated just about the same as HDMI. The three digital audio inputs can be classifed as HD as well. Just remember that if you want HD quality from either a Set Top Box or a DVD player, you will need one cable for each of the video and audio. There are no HDMI inputs for this receiver. The nice thing about HDMI is that you can get both HD quality audio and video from one cable. I hope this helps
What is the yellow red and white plugs on a tv called?
Those are audio-video cables, also called AV cables. Two audio plugs, 1 video. The plugs themselves don't have a special name.
How do you connect your Dell Latitude D610 to your LCD TV?
Hi, I faced the same problem and solved it using the s-video cable. The dell d610 has an s-video output and speaker output ports. now i am going to try and make this as simple as possible. buy an s-video cable. this cable will have a black 8-pin plug at one end(that goes into your laptop's s-video port) and the other end of the cable is a component video cable(yellow in color and is plugged into your tv). Now this is just for the video output. you need another cable has audio jack on one end(that goes into your laptops stereo headphone/speakers connector) and on the other end has two tv component video cables(1 red and 1 white). connect all these cables(i am sure you will figure out which cable goes where....) and open up your ati console and go to the tv settings. the rest is pretty simple. regards Shahnab Gillani
Does an S-Video cable also carry audio?
S-video cables carry two video signals. One carries brightness information (the Luma signal) and the other carries color information (the Chroma signal). Together they deliver a complete color picture. There is no audio carried by the cable, either as a separate signal or imbedded in the video signals. To get audio, another cable or set of cables will be needed. There are some multi-pin connectors that carry not only vide but audio and control as well. The SCART connector which is commonly available in Europe is one such example. This connector can carry a variety of video signals, two channel audio and some control lines as well. Most of the analog multi-pin connectors are being replaced by HDMI, a digital connection that carries all signals in a digital encoded format.
