Looking for some advice. Just bought a new Philips 46 inch HDTV. I don't get HD service I just have Direct tv and a DVD player. I only have the
Yellow, Red and White cords.
When I try to hook up one of the inputs (Direct tv or DVD) in their own component slots, one appears in color and the other in Black and White. Any
idea on how I can get them both in color?
I have looked this up on the internet and read about composite vs. component video. My Direct TV and DVD only have the Yellow, Red and White options
vs. Red, Green, Blue.
Thanks as always.Spoiler - 8-29-2010 at 10:49 AM
Does your DVD player have an HDMI cable slot? If so,that's the way to go. You can just do away with the the other cables and use 1 HDMI cable for
sound and picture. You should also be able to use one on your Direct TV as well. CR83 - 8-29-2010 at 03:52 PM
Thanks Spoiler. I thought I could use the HDMI on my Direct tv plus DVR but there's no slot for it. DVD doesn't either.
Seriously, thank you for taking time for thisCR83 - 8-29-2010 at 10:17 PM
I'm good to go. I hooked it up via a coaxle cable and then used the composite connection. DVD and DVR are now in full force.BDx13 - 8-30-2010 at 06:46 AM

I know Dude. While I have experienced HD many times, I LOVE to watch hockey in HD but I'm not willing to fork over the dough for HD programming just
yet. DAK - 8-30-2010 at 11:32 PM

I know man but for some reason I'm just not willing to take that leap. Just doesn't mean enough to me.
