Bronze Member Username: Cnc837Norman, OK USA Post Number: 45 Registered: Jul-05 | I bought the three head (red, white, yellow) cable to hook up my new dvd system to the tv using the component connections between the TV and the DVD player because I've heard its better quality, but for some reason it gives me a split picture or 2 pictures. Do I need special cables to connect them? Or did I do something else wrong? |

You need to get component video cables if you want to use component video. They are different from the cable you are trying to use.

THanks for your input. |
