Does an S Video cable also carry audio?

S-video is a two part video signal carrying luma and chroma signals (Brightness and color signals). There is no audio signal in an S-video connection so the audio will need a separate connection to operate.


Can you play a VHS through a projector if so what cable do you suggest?

Audio and Video cables, red and white for audio and yellow for video, if both units have a S-connector use it. The S-cable is a better video cable. If you use a S-cable you don't use the yellow video cable.


How do i connect my projector to my PS3 and surround sound system each console only has one HDMI connection?

The PS3 is capable of outputting video from its HDMI port, while at the same time outputting audio from the PlayStation AV port. You would connect anyPS2/3 AV cable that had stereo RCA outputs (the pair of red and white plugs), but you would not connect the video plug(s) of that cable (S-video, RGB plugs, or a yellow plug). You would leave the video connectors unplugged because you are using HDMI for video. But a better option would be to connect a cable from the PS3's optical audio port for surround sound. If your surround receiver has a digital optical audio input, use that. It will allow you to hear 5.1 channels of surround audio. The red and white RCA plugs can only support 2.0 channels of audio (stereo).


Does s video transmit audio?

S-video is a video connection that uses two wires, one for black and white information (The luma signal) and one for color information (the chroma signal). It does not carry audio but S-video inputs and outputs normally have a stereo audio connection associated with them.


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.

Simple cables for component video, composite video, analog audio and coaxial digial audio can be made with shielded cable and RCA connectors. Solder the inner connector to the middle pin and the sheild to the outer surround. Note that you will need different wire for the component video and digital audio. DVI, S-Video, HDMI and DisplayPort connectors are too complicated for the average user to make at home, and are best left to robots.

What are red and white connections for on vga to composite cable?

Not sure if they do anything. VGA is a video output on computer not audio, so will convert to the Yellow composite or S/Video cable. Red and white composite cables are for audio and with no audio coming from the VGA I cant see why they are included. Does anyone know or are they just a waste of space.
