Note: You can use your HDTV Component input to accept A/V signal (Composite) from a source with A/V out, please plug your video signal (yellow connector) into the Component input (green connector) and match up the audio connectors (R and L) for the sound. Expect to see a black/white video in the Component input, if it is selected by accident.
