Audio and Video Connections Explained

……And you've got a great picture!

[@dolsimon]

Great quality video! Not as in image quality tough 😉

[@VicVega666]

Thanks for explaining this somewhat confusing topic!

[@lipevolcom2]

Nice video Thanks bro

[@The90sGamingGuy]

Good info. Most of that stuff didn't know about.

[@powerguy61666]

They got tons of video connector that can do >360p and this video still 240p ?

[@luluiscarried]

Hey, nice video. Got a question for you, my receiver only has HDMI, Component/Composite OUTPUTS so I cannot connect my Xbox 360 to the receiver. I've read on amateur forums that I could connect the Xbox to the TV via HDMI then connect TV to receiver via optical cable since receiver has Optical INPUT. Would that work to get get Xbox working on Surround Sound or am I wasting my time.

[@Nick_Barone]

Can the Digital Coaxial cable be connected to a splitter in order to connect to standard analog inputs, ( Red and white ones)? The only thing i've seen are converters that also support optical digital inputs, but they have to be plugged into an additional outlet.. I'm trying to avoid that.

[@McCoy348]

Okay I have a question. I just bought a 5.1 home theater system and a 22" 720p samsung HDTV. My home theater doesnt have an HDMI input so I was thinking about getting composite cables because they seem to be the best alternative. However, they dont seem to have audio. its only video. what do you think would be the best audio cable? and how do i know if my systems are compatible with them?

Hello, I don't know if you are familiar with the Iphone cable. But Apple also have a Component AND Composit Cable. I have a TV with only composit input (red/white/yellow) but my friend's all have TV's with composit input. So I hope I get it right. You say somthing that the component cabel is a cross-over between analog and digital. So can I use the apple component cable (red/blue/green) on my TV (red/white/yellow) and on the component TV's I only want to buy ONE cable. regards sebastian

Great video! What about optical/s/pdif/toslink (what ever it's called)? I know it is not used as much but how does it compare?

[@farizalkamarudin]

Caarve it is good for digital audio 7 channel but not perfect for the newer lossless compression format.

[@malcolmmarzo2461]

Surprisingly low resolution for something like this.

[@k4l4sh77]

it's from 2007

[@JRob1125]

Malcolm Marzo At the time, it was pretty damn good

[@clearmist7170]

In 2007, this was considered high resolution. People were still using big monitors and 240p really good back then and was considered the best visual, especially since people used to watch very low resolutions before high-speed internet became popular. Our monitors of today have higher resolutions and so don't look as good.

[@mspinchey]

If I had a manual I would have reference that first. This is about as complete as a Yahoo article.

[@RRW359]

Some of this is right, but I need to point out several flaws: *HDMI usually supports 480i also. I have NEVER seen anything that wasn't a PC monitor, Graphics card, or monitor come with DVI (I have seen VGA though, which is basically Component but more often supporting 1080p). *Component is NOT digital, and devices rarely support 1080p on it. Also, like Composite, it usually comes with analogue sound connectors. S-video also usually comes sound connectors (the same as Component and Composite). Coax is the WORST connector. Nothing modern supports it, it's analogue, and it can't go over 480i (and it isn't good 480i, either). *Two things were correct at the time but not now. First, HDMI now also supports 4k. Second, in order to get more people to switch to HDMI, less and less devices are supporting Component, and even if they do, they rarely let it do anything over 480i.

[@RRW359]

***** I've learned more since I made that comment and while what I said about coax is true about video game systems, it is really complicated with anything else. I believe they can't get to 1080p, though. I didn't mean to say component is bad, it just can vary rarely do 1080p, and most new devices won't let you do over 480i.

[@luglic]

by looking at them, where can I see the difference between a standard audio cable and a digital coax cable? THANKS.

[@Zeloverevolution]

The coaxial and composite audio cable are identical aside from color, they just get plugged into different ports.

[@deccno]

Im not sure most Tvs just give out 2.1 i would get an AV Receiver (if you want to spend the money) i have 1 hoked up with my Soundsystem it has tons of inputs.

[@Doris-y5v]

my VHS can not be displayed on my HDMI tv. what can I do ??

[@Indead]

Component can't output 1080p. Also, coaxial isn't compatible with anything over 480i....correct?

[@crystal7551]

Indead's Game Room Incorrect! Rf anntena also supports 480p, 720p, and 1080i.

[@bsanchez3563]

And component DOES technically have a capability though not specificaly detailed or in the specifations for the component video specification group yet ie Xbox 360 for example is an example of the uncommon devices that suport 1080p via component video

You'd think he works for Philips

How to screen mirroring AV cable

[@Carolyn665]

At 4:13..You tell us to change the input to "support composite video," Okay, here it comes..Where (or how) do you do that?

[@brownj0002]

That depends entirely on the brand and model of your TV. What he means is change the "Input" on your TV to Composite (and not HDMI, S-Video etc.). Sometimes called Video 1, Video 2 etc. on some TV's, there should be a label next to the connectors in that case. You may have multiple connections available (like both Video 1 and 2 could accept composite) so select the "input channel" that matches where you plugged it in. On most TV remotes there is a button for "Input". Hope that helps... otherwise google for "how to change input" and your TV brand/model.

[@lucianodebortoli]

he just says: "take one end and hook it to where it has to be hooked"

[@bigboi210]

He looks like Ferris Bueller's friend
