The answer is YES, you can substitute Composite Video Cables with RCA cables for use in HDTV Technology.-I tried it, using 3 sets of audio RCA cables (red and white)One for the Audio connections (red and white) and the other two for composite video connections. (red, blue, and green)-The following address shows the process and results, using a HD digital tuner with 1080i output on a HD ready TV.http://s869.photobucket.com/albums/ab252/tompetter/?action=view&current=RCA.jpgMost modern televisions will offer you a series of connectivity options:1) 75ohm standard antenna input2) composite video - RCA jacks (yellow, red, white)3) component video - RCA jacks (red, green, blue)4) S-video - DIN connector5) DVI6) HDMIThe best connection is HDMI.

How do you hook up red white and yellow rca cables when there is no yellow spot but blue and green?

The yellow cable is for video and the red and white are for audio. To connect to a HDTV and receive a HD signal you need to connect 3 video cables. The yellow cable will not get you an HD connection and only a Standard TV connection. Some HDTVs have component, S video plug, and/or HDMI plugs. Since your HDTV does not have a yellow plug slot we know you do not have the component HD connection with the 3 RCA type connections for Video. You may need to purchase new cables to connect your device to the HDTV. If both your HDTV and the device have HDMI plug slot purchase a HDMI cable from any large retail store and install it.

Can you hook up 2 TVs to a playstation 3?

Yes or fifty they would all have the same picture and it would be just like at the Store with a group of TVs with the same picture. You would need to purchase separate connections and a system to split the signal or a splitter To hook up a second set you need the Standard A/V cable for the PS3. The first step is to get the RCA connection split into two for the RED White and Yellow RCA plugs so you can then plug them into two TVs. That would mean purchase of 3 Y RCA connection cables that split a single connection into two. You would also need up to 6 cables with a female RCA connection either on the cable or on both sides of the Y cable. You will not need the cables if the Y cables are long enough to reach each TVs RCA inputs. They also sell and you might need to purchase dual female RCA adaptors to allow connection of two male RCA cables


How do you hook up red yellow white cables into a tv with no red slot?

Just plug yellow to yellow, and white to white. Yellow is video, red and white are stereo audio, but if you have no stereo input, you just use the white (i.e. mono). For some cables you use red instead of white, but this is rare. In some games, you can go into the settings and choose mono instead of stereo.
