A:AnswerComponent video cables are usually only used for dvd player video signals. you still need the red and white audio cable to output the sound from a dvd player.
They don't output the video signal from a vhs player. if you have a dvd/vhs combo player you would need both sets of cables. The red white and yellow for the vhs and the red,blue
and green for the dvd..You might be able to use the component cable if you used the red for the red and the blue for the white and the green for the yellow jacks. You would have to experiment with the cables to see what works.
