Hi!
I have a very simple question.
My dvd player has a hdmi+component+composite output and my projector has a vga+s-video+composite input.
Is there a better way to connect them, rather than using composite? |

Hi, I have a question about connecting the cables to a HD DVR unit, do the satellite cables connect to this box the same as they did to the reg DVR box, and the HDMI cables was I correct when I read that you still have to ren a audio cable (the red&white cables) to receive audio because the HDMI does not transmit sound? Thanks in advance------------------John |

can any one tell me if I have to activate the HD cards to use the HD DVR box, I am replacing the reg DVR box with the HD DVE box, I was wondering of I could use the reg card until the 5 eyed dish was installed, or do I have to activate the HD card immediately? Thanks-----------John |

Mister Woody,
Component is much better than composite.
John Harris,
HDMI transmits both audio and video.
I don't know about your activation question. You'd be better off contacting your satellite provider or posting your question in the appropriate forum. |

I guess you mean that I need something like Composite-> VGA, right? |

Oops, sorry. I read your post too fast and thought your projector had a component input. I guess if that were the case, you wouldn't be asking this question.
I would suggest looking into buying a home theater projector, as opposed to using an office/PC projector, which is not intended for watching movies. |

Thanks for your reply. I own a Benq 6200 and I don't think it is a PC projector. I would give a try to a composite->VGA cable. |
