The other end of the cable has one optical Sony/Philips Digital Interconnect Format (S/PDIF) connection port and an audio-visual (A/V) connector that connects to the Xbox 360 console. The A/V connector has an HDTV switch that determines which video signal is transmitted through the cable. Select either the high-definition video signal or the standard-definition TV video signal.

About the Author

Will the use of component video cables increase the picture quality from my DVD player to my new HDTV?

I just recently purchased a 32" 720p LCD TV. The DVD quality isn't as sharp as I expected it to be. I'm not yet ready to upgrade to Blu-ray. I'm currently using the composite cables (red, white, yellow). I noticed that my DVD player has component video output and my TV obviously has a component input. I understand the audio will be separate from this.

Will using component video cables noticeably improve the DVD image quality?

Yes, component cables will definitely improve.
