I have a Sony KDL-52XBR4 connected to my Mac-Mini via a DVI to HDMI cable and it works fine. All I did was change the resolution to get it working. I'm pretty sure is in the 1280x800 range (I'm moving and the TV is in transit so I can't check at the moment). BUT, it does work and I use it all the time to watch iTunes & surf on Safari to watch Hulu. There is one quirk, the MacMini will invert the colors periodically, but I found a script someone else wrote that resets the display settings.

Is coaxl input on tv HDMI?

The coaxial RF input on a HDTV will process a HD signal but it is not an HDMI input.


How do you connect your laptop to your hdtv with your vga to HDMI cable?

HDMI cables are used as digital video and data links between video sources and televisions. HDMI is compatible with DVI interfaces so if the laptop has a DVI output, a DVI to HDMI cable can be used. If the laptop does not have HDMI or DVI, then there is no way to connect the VGA output to an HDMI input. There are several USB based video displays that can be purchased to connect to the laptop. The display can be used as a copy of the internal screen or it can extend the desktop across both screens. Select a display port that has either DVI or HDMI outputs.

Can you connect a high definition television to a digital cable box with a high definition multimedia interface cable and a digital video recorder video cassette recorder with a component cable setup?

Yes and No.If I understand the question correctly, you want to connect your cable box to your HDTV via HDMI, your DVR via component cable (Red, Green and Blue RCA connectors), and your VCR via component cables. Your HDTV should accept various video inputs - HDMI, component, and composite (the yellow RCA connector). Most argue that the HDMI connection will provide the best quality video. Next in quality is component video. Last is composite video. Your cable box may or may not have an HDMI connection. If it does and you subcribe to HD channels from your cable provider, then definitely use HDMI to connect to the cable box. If you have another HDMI input available on your TV, then connect it to the DVR (if the DVR has the HDMI output). Your VCR will likely have to be connected via composite cable. It's a crappy signal but VCR don't provide a great signal to begin with. Most VCRs only offer a composite (at best) output, anyway.


Is there adapters for component cables to HDMI cables?

Analog component signals are completely different to digital HDMI. There is no simple adaptor cable because the analog signals require processing to convert to digital. There are converter units that will perform the processing as dedicated converters but it may also be possible to use other equipment such as DVD recorders. Many have analog inputs with an HDMI output and it is often possible to route a signal straight through the unit. Converting from HDMI to analog component is rather harder. In fact it is not possible to do it using authorized hardware. HDMI uses a copy protection system known as HDCP which encodes the signal. Converting that HDMI signal to analog removes the copy protection and no legitimate devices are available that will remove copy protection. There are some exceptions to the HDCP system, mostly for non commercial content but in these cases, there are normally easier ways to obtain analog copies. There are a handful of unauthorized converters but be warned that even if they operate now, they can be disabled if they are known to be unlicensed devices. I don't know about the truthfulness or accuracy of the above information , but a PS3 has an HDMI input and does have optional cables that have a component connection at the HDTV side and a HDMI connection on the other side. They ran about $30 and are designed to connect a PS3 to a HDTV with component cables and may work for your connection

How do hook up HDMI cable to PS3?

I plugged the HDMI cable into the HDTV and into the PS3. Then I went to the settings for both the HDTV and the PS3 slim and set them for HDMI and sync.

How do you set up your playstation 3 to watch Blu-ray DVD's?

Ads describing features for the PS3 contain the following footnote: Video output in HD requires cables and an HD-compatible display, both sold separately. Full HD 1080p requires an HDMI cable and a 1080p native display with an HDMI input supporting HDCP. Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP standard. This means in order to set up your PS3 to play Blue Ray Discs you need a HDTV that gets 1080P and is able to be connected to the PS3 with a HDMI cable, or that the HDTV has an HDMI input and you have used it to connect it to the PS3.


How do you hook up an HDTV to a Blu-ray and cable box?

The blu-ray instruction manual usually includes instructions for connecting the blu-ray to the HDTV, as well as how to program the blu-ray and HDTV to work together. The manuals are your best source of instruction. If the manuals are missing, you can usually download them from the manufacturer's website. The HDTV has several input connectors. Connect your cable box to one input, using a compatible cable (usually included), most often an HDMI cable these days. Connect your blu-ray HDMI output to another HDMI input on the HDTV using another HDMI cable. Then use the HDTV remote control to select the desired input source. If you want to use a blu-ray with speakers for your sound system, you must connect an HDTV audio output to a blu-ray audio input. Depending on the particular HDTV and blu-ray, you may use an audio cable with RCA connectors, or a fiber optic digital cable. If the HDTV and blu-ray both support a feature called ARC, the same HDMI video cable can also carry the digital audio signal. Refer to the manuals for setting up the HDTV and blu-ray audio.
