Guys, would like to know if Component Cable same as AV cable? I went to You Yee to buy this cable. The seller said both are the same. Just that Component Cable is 5 Pcs whereas AV Cable is 3 Pcs. :oops:
Component cable, got 3 for video alone, and 2 audio. Total = 5 head
Composite cable, got 1 for video, 2 audio. Total = 3 head.
Both are considered not the same when it comes to video input, but the audio is same.

Thanks for your helpful info. In terms of the cable physical outlook, it looked the same right (if we ignore the color code)?
Only the audio is the same, but not for the video. If say you plan to use the 5 head av cable (component cable) to an old tv set that has only 3 input (yellow, red, white), it will not work.
But you can use the 3 head av cable on a tv set with 5 input as most tv support the yellow plug (composite cable).
