I have a real basic question about which wires to use when hooking up my 42" Plasma TV:
First, let me say that I am not hooking up a HT system to this TV ... The only source of video/audio going to the TV is from my satellite TV box and a DVD player.
The Plasma TV has RCA input jacks for both Composite (red/white/yellow) wires and RCA input jacks for Component (green/red/blue) wires.
Since the satellite TV box only has the output jacks for Composite wires, I believe my only option is to use the Composite wires (red/white/yellow) between the satellite box and the TV.
However, the DVD player is set-up like the TV ... It can use either Composite or Component wires, so I have the option to use either between the DVD player and the TV.
My question is ... Even though I use the inferior Composite RCA wires between the satellite box and the TV ... Would I be better off using the Component (green/red/blue) wires when connecting the DVD player to the TV? .... Or do I have to stick to just Composite wires since the satellite box to the TV has them?
Thank's for any info,
Ron
P.S. The TV will be wall mounted, so whatever wires I use, they will be about 6 feet long.
