Does the video come out of the component cables (red,gren,blue) and the AV cable (yellow) or both? What is the yellow cable for?

The yellow cable is for standard definition television . plugging it in won't do anything. You have your audio cables (red and white) and your HD componet cables (Red green blue) and standard definition video cable(yellow) if you are not using an HD TV with component plugs such as an CRT TV the yellow video cable needs to be plugged in to the color coded slot (sometimes represented as a Y above another color slot)

The video comes from red blue and green for HD and red yellow white for basic depending on your sound hearing choose ex. Speaker or headset you might have to use red and white in audio out ports on TV.

Red = Right Audio. White = Left Audio. Yellow = Composite Video = 480i (interlaced) = 4:3 only. The Red, Green and Blue RCA jacks, of Component" video, carry color and video synk signals. Hence, providing a "Progressive" scan, if your TV can handle it. So, you get 480p. All lines painted on every sweep. Note: Component Video carries no audio, so you still need the White and Red (L&R) Audio channels. You need Blu-Ray for anything higher than 480p.

I have an older DVD player connected to the component input. You should have two "breakout cables". One has RGB and the other is Yellow/Red/White. The Red and White are the shared audio input for both the A/V and Component inputs. Some DVD players offer several component formats, so check it's setup also. Color coding can vary too.

No, but it makes the picture quality much better than the red, white, and yellow av cables.

Red, Yellow, White (composite) will only be 480i. This is a limitation of composite cables, not the Roku. See this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_video

I don't know. Nothing we have uses component cables, just regular AV cables.

checked the back of mine --- it cays 'component video' has three rca type jacks labeled 'y' 'pb' - 'pr' --- I assume these are for yellow,blue an red ...

If you're still curious this only has the 3 RCA outputs Red,White,and Yellow. I record from my PS3 and have to go to the AV settings =( I am not sure though if you can get some sort of add-on where you can record from components.

even brand new tv's come with the red white and yellow connections, sometimes they are on the sides or in the front. I just bought a brand new tv and it has two of them, two components and two hdmi's so if it has S-video it HAS to have the red white and yellow because S-video has to run sound with the red and the white cables.

As long as it takes composite video input, yes. Yellow is composite video, black is ground.

Red, blue, green is COMPONENT video, different from COMPOSITE video with red, white and yellow RCA plugs. Look for a component to HDMI converter.

It only can take the video component of the three RCA (yellow wire) and change in into S video cable. S video cannot carry audio.

Yes you might need an AV cable or just regular video cables you know the yellow white and red.

No. Yellow is for composite video, and the red and white are for stereo sound. Composite is not an HD video format, and would require some other up-converting hardware to be changeable to HDMI. Do not confuse composite video with the red, green, and blue component HD video (sometimes also called YPbPr), which actually calls for a much higher-quality cable to reduce noise (static) for HD video connections.

No, this converts VGA to HDMI.What RCA inputs are you referring to? There are two kinds, and they do sell adapters for both.If you're talking about the one with the yellow video jack, then you want something that will be described as "HDMI to composite" (it'll be a little box, not just a cable).If you are referring to the one with red/green/blue RCA jacks, then you want "HDMI to component" (again, it'll be a box with 5 RCAs and an HDMI port).Amazon sells both of them.
