No. There is no composite video standard for high definition. If a video signal is composite, then it is also standard definition.

High definition television will normally need an HDMI connection. Although there are other HD interfaces, HDMI is the only one found on domestic equipment. Any other output on a DVD player or receiver is almost certain to be an SD output only.

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.


How do you connect a Sony VPL-FX50 projector to a home DVD player or digital cable box?

The Sony VPL-FX50 has composite, component and DVI inputs. A DVD player or cable receiver will almost certainly have a composite output. Most have a component output although newer models will have an HDMI interface replacing analog component outputs. An HDMI - DVI cable may work but copy protection encoding on the DVD / cable receiver output might cause problems. If that is the case, it will need to use one of the analog inputs. The analog links tend to be standard definition; composite certainly is only standard definition and the analog component may also be only SD. You will need to check the output of the player to find out. Perhaps someone might be able to add more information on copy protection systems using DVI inputs. It's not an area that I know much about I'm afraid.


Is there an spdif analog audio out?

No, a S/PDIF is, by definition, a Sony / Phillips Digital Interconnect Format connector, and is always a digital signal. It is usually connected by an RCA cable, and can be carried by cable specified for analog use, but digital cable is better.


How do I connect a Bose 3-2-1 to HD TV and Cable?

The Bose 321 system does not support Hi-Def inputs, so the best idea is to use it just for sound. Connect the digital audio output of the Cable box to the optical input of the 321. Connect an HDMI cable from the Cable box to the TV directly.


What cables are needed to connect a DVD player to a television?

You can use one of 3 types of cables: 1) Composite video - yellow/white/black. This is the basic cable that almost all DVD players ship with. Basic standard definition video and analog audio 2) Component video + Analog audio - red/green/blue + white/black - This is for progressive scanning DVD players and TV's 10 years old or newer. Better video but analog audio 3) HDMI - one cable. This is for upconverting DVD players. 480p to 1080p video (not high definition) plus digital audio. You may have a DVD player and TV that have a S-Video player (multi-pin single cable), but that connection standard has almost completely disappeared.

Can you use traditional TV in your house when you have a high definition connection from your cable company?

Yes. If your standard (traditional) TV has a coaxial (75ohm) antenna input or composite video/audio (yellow, red, and white RCA jacks) inputs, and your cable or satellite box provides these standard definition outputs, which most do, you should be able to use either hook up to view content provided by your cable or satellite receiver.

What is the maximum video resolution for composite video cables?

There are two answers for this question. The first deals with composite signals and the second deals with cable. So... Answer one. Composite signals carry color video as a single signal. The resolution is limited to 480 lines or 576 lines because they are the two standard definition line counts. The signals are below 6MHz and are analog. There is no composite signal that carries HD signals. Answer two The cable that carries composite signals is generally fairly poor quality but is sufficient for short links between a DVD and a television for example. Longer runs need a co-ax cable designed to run video signals. The cable is identified as a 75 Ohm cable, that being a characteristic of the cable required for standard video transmission. Although there are many different grades of co-ax cable, a reasonable quality cable is capable of running any composite signal and will also run digital video in standard and high definition as well. Most video signals use the same type of cable so strictly speaking, there is no such cable as "composite".


Which type of cable do you use from satellite to receiver for hd directv?

You will either need a composite(not component) cable or a HDMI cable. I think you can use S-Video but S-Video doesn't compare to HDMI or composite.


How do you connect a standard definition TV to a high definition satellite receiver?

You can connect your standard definition TV to your satellite receiver in a couple of ways. First, if your TV has composite video/audio inputs (yellow, red, and white RCA jacks), you can connect to these inputs using the composite video outputs of the satellite receiver. Another alternative is to use the standard coaxial cable output from your satellite receiver to connect to the 75ohm antenna input on your TV. *Note: Neither of these connections will display high definition programming on your standard definition TV. The TV is only capable of standard definition, so you will see a clear picture, but it won't be true high definition, regardless of the input signal's definition.

What will happen when High definition TV will start in February will one be able to use the old televisions or have to join a cable company?

Well in 2009 tv will not go to all high definition it will switch from analog to digital meaning that if you are not assigned to a cable company or satellite company you will not be able to watch tv. unless you either join a cable provider or satellite provider or get a digital box. High definition in it self is something totally different than whats going on in february.


Do you have to have a HDtv to have playstation3?

No, you can use a PlayStation 3 with a conventional TV (one that has a lower resolution than 720p or 1080i; those are the necessary resolutions for a television to be called high definition). A PS3 can be set for 480i output and used on a regular TV with the included composite video cable; however, you won't get the benefit of the spectacular graphics that require high-def. You can still use it, but it won't look as good.
