HDMI and S-video are completely incompatible connectors. HDMI carries digital data in component or RGB formats while S-video is a 2 wire analog signal. The two cannot be connected without using digital - analog or analog - digital converters. To use an S-video source with a new television, look for analog connectors on the rear of the television or in the manual. Most televisions have an analog input although it may be composite rather than S-video. Almost all sources that have an S-video output will also have a composite output. A little research into the available connectors on the source and the television should produce a workable result.

What are the best cables to use for hooking up audio and video components?

Audio components can be connected with speaker wire for signals from amplifiers. Brand doesn't matter, although a thicker wire will have less loss than a thinner wire. For the best audio, optical or coaxial digital cable for digital audio signals. For the best video, HDMI is the current standard for connection between high-definition sources and receivers and video displays.


How do you connect Blu-ray player to a DVD home theater system to get surround sound?

In order to connect a PS3 to a HDTV you need either component cables or and HDMI cable. You have to make sure your TV has either one of these connections. The component cables are blue, green, and red for video, red and white for audio. The HDMI cable is a D shaped looking cable that provides video and audio with a single cable. HDMI looks nothing like component or composite cables. Of course you also need an HDTV.


What is the difference between a 28awg and a 24awg HDMI?

24/28 AWG is the thickness of the wire used in the conductors, AWG stands for American Wire Gauge, and is a measurement of how many conductors can be wrapped around a cylinder next to each other in one inch. Therefore, the 24 AWG wire is slightly thicker. There is no need for thicker wire in HDMI cables, however, as it is the quality of sheilding and the connectors that determine the cables ultimate quality. You shouldn't have to pay any more than $20.00 for a 6 foot HDMI cable.


Is S video cable better than component cable?

No. S-video uses two signals - one for luminance (the brightness) and the other for all color information. The color information is actually two signals that are encoded into a single wire. Component uses three signals. The luminance is the same as S-video but the other two are used for color information. This is the highest quality signal in the broadcast world and they can be found as analog or digital signals. The worst quality interface is composite video. This single wire carries brightness and color all as a single signal. It is also the standard connection for most domestic video in the standard definition video domain. Note that HDMI, being the de facto standard for HD video, is capable of handling component video both in standard and high definition. As more equipment supports HDMI, we will become accustomed to seeing the better quality and have less reliance on either composite or S-video.


What kind of cable is needed to connect VGA to RCA?

VGA, a computer video output, cannot be converted to a composite (1 video wire) or component video (3 video wires) signal with just a cable. VGA can be much higher resolution than composite video. You will need a scan converter box to create the NTSC video signal.

How do you hook up HDTV cable box?

If your cable box has a HDMI cable port, buy an HDMI cable to connect the TV to the cable box. The next best alternative is to use a S-Video cable with a pair of Audio cables. The third best alternative is to use a RF Coaxial cable. The last option is to use a composite Video and L/R Audio cables.You should note that while the TV may be HD capable, the cable box may not support HD so you will have to upgrade your cable box to a HD compatible cable box.

How do you hook up 2 tv's to 1 receiver?

All Cable TV receivers are a little different. Look at the back of the Cable box receiver and you should see a coaxial out (TV out) or a HDMI port (TV out-for HD Programming). If you do not have a HDMI out port on your cable box (you need a HDTV for this as well), you will need to run a coax wire from the Cable TV receiver to your television coax input. In most cases your TV will then be tuned to channel 3 or 4 to receive programming. If you have HD programming with your Cable company and have an HDMI out on your Cable box, you can use an HDMI cord and connect it to your HDMI port on your HDTV. You will then need to tune to the HDMI input to receive programming.
