If you’re struggling with understanding the different inputs and outputs on your TV, you’re not alone. In this post, we’ll explain how to connect component cables to your TV and get the most out of your viewing experience.
First, let’s start with the HDMI and DVI connection. DVI is a very old video connection that was used between computers and monitors. Some devices still use DVI, but the problem is that it only outputs video and doesn’t do audio. If you’re using it, you’ll need a converter that will convert from DVI to HDMI. However, you will not have audio, so you’ll need to use left-right AV as your audio.
Moving on, we have the RCA connection. RCA is a two-in-one audio-visual signal that features left and right audio and video. You’ll find this connection on your normal DVD players, and it’s what you use with your banana pins.
If you don’t have an HDMI cable, you can use component cables. Component cables have red, blue, and green connectors, and they’re used for video. If you have a home theater that doesn’t support HDMI but supports component, this is a good option. The picture quality isn’t as high definition as HDMI, but it’s still better than using the yellow RCA cable.
If you’re interested in amplifying your audio, you’ll need a 3.5 millimeter jack, which is your audio socket. You’ll need to connect it to your DVD player, and most of them should have left and right audio. If you have a home theater, you can connect the 3.5 millimeter jack to the red and white RCA connectors.
Finally, if you’re looking for cables, you can typically find them at tech or electronic shops. Don’t forget to ask for a cable that has audio and video components.
Now that you understand how to connect component cables to your TV, you can enjoy your viewing experience even more.
