Component cables do not carry audio signals. However, you will find that they are bundled with audio cables most of the time. These are usually cheap products, varying from about 5 to 10 dollars. Don't be fooled by "gold plated" or any metal plated cables, because they all work the same, without loss of quality for cheaper ones.

Let me try to explain. The component cable was an upgrade of the old composite cable that gave you one cable for the video and two, a left and right channel, for the audio. Composite cable was not able to support digital signal. The component cable also came with three cables but in this instance they were for the three colors channels (red green and blue) supported by TVs of that time. They did improve the quality of the picture but only when you had them plugged in correctly

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.
