| 743022 | 2009-01-29 21:04:00 | Trying to hook freeview receiver unit to LCD TV in my camper. It works ok on the 3 normal rca connections, video and left and right audio, but the kids want those connections for the play station. No probs I thought I will hook up freeview receiver ypbr pconnections to the 3 ypbpr connections on tv. But there is no audio had to get another 2 rca cables and connect to another set of audio connections on tv. Are the ypbr connections just for video or are they sound as well? Got 8 RCA cables coming from tv that cant be right? looks like a christmas tree. |

| 743023 | 2009-01-29 21:26:00 | Yeah ypbpr connections are only video signal, you will have to use the left and right rca inputs next to the ybbpr inputs to run the sound. I beleive only HDMI has digital quality video and sound carrying abitlities |

The Y/PB/PR (component video) is for the picture only - You will still need two RCA connections from the white & red sockets on the Freeview decoder to the appropriate white/red sockets on the back of the TV. |

| 743026 | 2009-01-29 21:43:00 | HDMI would be your best bet. ;) You could also try an AV switch. We have one, which is connected to both of our DVD players (one records). You simply flick a switch on the front to change the input. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 743027 | 2009-01-29 22:05:00 | Thanks pcuser I will price a changeover switch. | prefect (6291) | ||
| 743028 | 2009-01-30 05:43:00 | You can also connect your Playstation (2?) to the tv with a Component video cable (www.us.playstation.com) (red/green/blue RCA's) if you have more than one set of component inputs on the tv, much better picture than your current composite connection (single yellow RCA plug). | feersumendjinn (64) | ||

I've found it doesn't make that much difference on a PS2. Makes a bit of a difference on an Xbox & a huge difference on the latest versions of each console. |
