I purchased a component cable (rectangular plug I think called VGA plugs into female left side laptop toward the back and red, blue and green RCA type jacks for LG TV.

Well Hi Maria ! Let's get you fixed up.
I want to help you with your question, but I need more information. Maria, with my wireless headphones, I have 2 types:
a)Has 2 "RCA Type" connector plugs, you can identify them simply as one is red(My memory trick is R is 'RED & R for right side, and a white one, for the left side) do you see these plug type connectors that attach to the broadcasting unit that sends the signals to your wireless headphones, so they can go without wires?
b) Or...do you have a broadcasting unit that has 2 different types of plugs, 1 is still a red "RCA type", and the other is a different type, a "BLACK" Plug type ?(It is called a 3.5mm Plug)

If you have "type a)" 1 x Red RCA &
1 x White RCA, then all you need to do is to look at your HDTV manual, an find where the "AV OUT" plugs are, make sure it is the OUT, (Caution: It won't work if there is "NO" audio from some source hooked up to at least one the HDTV's in sources, it could be AV, or HDMI, whatever you chose to use.
Carefully move the HDTV, so you can safely get behind it and locate the AV OUT (Female type) plugs at the back, remember "R" is for RED PLUG & always "RIGHT" Side, and "WHITE" PLUG is for the "LEFT" Side. Hopefully the cords are long enough to get out from behind the HDTV, andto a place where their signal can reach the headphones. If not, I get very inexpensive RCA cables, & other things at "My local DOLLAR STORE, for about $3.00" And you should be set. Remember, Start your headphones with reset, and slowly search until your audio matched the video on the HDTV.

If you have the "type b)" you have 2 options. If you plug just the "RED RCA plug into the back of the HDTV, IMPORTANT** You will ONLY get (Remember "R" red for Right hand side) you only get Right Had Sound (REALLY, who wants that, with all the nice stuff you bought ??)
Soooo... That "BLACK 3.5mm Plug means you have "2" choices
a) Unlikely Choice- If there is a 3.5mm audio OUT Female Plug receiver that accepts the Black plug, then THAT's IT. The Black plug. is like most microphones, headphones, etc, IT HAS BOTH THE LEFT & THE RIGHT SIDE SOUND SIGNALS> Again, if it's not long enough, , go buy an inexpensive extension plug (Factory Direct Store sells a 25 foot extension cable ***FOR ONLY $6.99 ****-
- I love that place !! )
b) if like most HDTVs you have the same 2 RCA type AV out Female Plugs, you will need to buy what is called a
"3.5mm (Female)to RED & White RCA PLUG SPLITTER" -
and guess where you get them reaaly cheap ??
See above !!.
When you have your RCA to 3.5mm Splitter Cable (Hey it's late & I don't remember the right name, I think this is the one !!), plug The "R" for RED to the "Right" side AV RCA plug for AV OUT, & the "White" plug" to the "Left Side" AV out plug,& the 3.5mm Black Plug (female) will plug into the Cordless Headphones Broadcaster's (Male) 3.5mm Black Plug, move the Broadcaster out front so your Headphones can pick up the signal
LAST !!!
2 things
#1- Always try to be sure that you could draw an imaginary "LINE OF SIGHT" between the Broadcaster Unit, and where you will be wearing the headphones for the best quality of signal (You want to enjoy it now, right !)
#2- BE VERY VERY CAREFU, PATIENT, when you move the HDTV back or foorward. They are EXPENSIVE !! AND !!! IMPORTANT, !! They are a LOT HEAVIER THAN THEY LOOK< AND COULD REALLY HURT YOU,if they fall on you, or you will not feel so smart if after all this, your nice, expensive HDTV, is BROKEN, OK?
PLEASE BE CAREFUL FOLKS !!!

If your laptop does not have the 15 pin plug (VGA Port) then you will need to get some type of adapter that will make the monitor work. You probably have a DVI monitor.

You just need to make sure you get the correct type of adapter and make sure the ends that plug into the computer are correct such as male or female. For example think of the human male and female body parts when you look at adapters. The vga port on the computer is called a Female port, but the piece that plugs into it is called Male. It's the same with DVI ports.

I think you need a VGA Male to a DVI Female so below is a link to one and for $2.54 from Cable Wholesale.

Below is a picture of what it looks like.

In the old school standard AV: Red and White are usually audio channels (Red:Right - White:Left), Yellow is video.

Orange can be coax audio, (both L&R channels in one cable). Before digital (optical) came out, some receivers actually had a coax (orange) jack in the back. Radio Shack sells a splitter if necessary.

In higher resolution systems video is separated into three colored cables: RGB or Red, Green, Blue
called 'component' video. The green cable carries Yellow, the blue cable carries (PB) Blue and the red cable carries Red (PR). And with today's tech, the component signal is carried YCBCR as (digital video.) cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/YPbPr

Component 'wire colors' are there just to remind us. If your TV has "Component" input. Try green to green, white to yellow and black to red. Orange to audio (splitting L&R if necessary)..

Also, here is a PS3 link that might help: http://www.ps3hax.net/showthread.php?t=9238
Good luck !

Hello, for the descriptions of the colors (red. green, and blue) of the USB video adapter, what you have is a "component video input" also called YUV in which you can only send color difference signals from a device that has the same kind of output, like a DVD player. So, you cannot plug your cam cable directly to them.
Maybe your USB adapter has another input or dongle in which the colors of the RCA jacks are the same as you have in your camcorder. Red: right Audio, Black: left Audio and Yellow: composite video.
Send me back more info of your adapter, like make and model, maybe I can see the specs and add more help in this matter.
Good luck

You need a VGA to TV cable. If your TV has a component input, you need a VGA to component cable, like the following one:

The VGA connector is for your laptop (you connect in on the side) and the RCA connector (3 plugs) is for your TV

Check your TV for a green, blue and red connector on back.

Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

Thank you

The first step is to inspect both your laptop and TV and identify the connections, easily located on the back of either component. There are five basic types of jacks, or ports involved:
*Composite/phono plug (RCA)
*S-Video
*Video graphics array (VGA)
*Digital video interface (DVI)
*High-definition multimedia interface (HDMI)
*An RCA connector, sometimes called a phono connector, is used for analog audio and video components. Three round, colored sockets are standard — left audio is white, right audio is red, and composite video is yellow. These are standard jacks on older TV’s and laptops. A three-prong cable, readily available at any computer or electronics, is the easiest way to make an RCA laptop to TV connection.
*S-Video, or Super-Video, a more advanced analog video connector, uses a four-prong round plug, like those used in TV cable installations. Separate audio cables are the same as for the RCA connector, left audio/white, and right audio/red. S-Video is commonly found on older TV sets and some laptops.
With S-Video on both TV and laptop, connecting a laptop to a TV is a simple matter of a single S-Video cable. If your laptop has a great sound system, you won’t need audio cables, but for better quality you’ll also want audio cables.
RCA to S-Video cable, a special laptop to TV cable, is available when you have RCA jacks on one device and an S-Video port on the other.
*A VGA connector and cable are used to carry analog video signals plus display and graphics data. The VGA is a 15-pin connector commonly found on laptops and other devices. With this port you need a PC-to-TV Convertor to connect laptop to TV. You simply plug the VGA cable from the source into the convertor, and use an S-Video or RCA cable out to the TV. The converter is USB powered, so there’s no external power adapter to carry around, making this laptop to TV connection entirely portable.
*A DVI port is rectangular with 24 pins arranged in three horizontal rows of eight pins for digital video; separate RCA analog audio cables fit into white and red plugs. DVI ports are found on Macintosh laptops; sometimes they are smaller than normal DVI ports and require an adapter, which usually comes with the laptop.
*The HDMI port, one-half the size of the DVI port, is also rectangular with 19 pins. It provides digital audio in addition to digital video, despite it’s smaller size, for a complete TV to laptop connection. These ports are found on new HDTVs, and sometimes there are two or more. TVs with HDMI ports are the only ones that do not require additional audio cables.
TV’s with a single digital port labeled HDMI/DVI require only one cable when the source is another HDMI component. But when source is a DVI laptop, you need a DVI-to-HDMI cable for the video and a separate pair of RCA analog stereo cables.
NOTE: Whenever ports do not match, you can by adaptors and/or cables to make any connection.

You can purchase and try this VGA out to S-Video / RCA cable http://www.amazon.com/VGA-to-S-Video-RCA-Adaptor/dp/B000P3UB24/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1263455014&sr=8-1

Round peg into the round hole. Red peg on the red slot. etc. If the wire from the nintendo doesn't fit the slot on the tv then you're in the wrong slot. if the wire from the nintendo fits the slot on the tv (and is the same color if you are using red/white/yellow rca cables) then you're good. here's a hint on connection types (you will not mix): 1. RCA (red/white/yellow round connectors) Red=right audio sound White=left audio sound Yellow=video connect to the slots that look like they want some. 2. Coaxial (stiff cable with a pinner poking out of the end -- same cable that connects you to cable tv) just hook it up by itself; it carries audio and video. 3. Component (red/green/blue)(red/white) two 'bundles' red=red component of video green=green component of video blue=blue component of video red=right audio white=left audio 4. VGA + (red/white) VGA=video (computer monitor cable) red=right audio white=left audio 5. HDMI (flat hdmi cable. you spent $30 on this 3 foot ****) HDMI=audio and video 6. hugs and kisses hugs=video kisses=audio (both sides)

RCA cable connectors (red,white, yellow) are usually for an analog setup. You could still use these for "component" setup, but know the difference with color stamps as follows:

Component color stamps are "blue, green, red" ( blue is marked Pb, green is marked Y, red is marked Pr)

RCA color stamps your using are "red, white, yellow"

Here are the proper hook up method for "Component" using your "RCA" connectors:

On both the TV and DVD component setup:

Plug the red RCA fitting in the component port marked "Pr (red)

Plug the white RCA fitting in the component port marked "Pb (blue)

Plug the yellow RCA fitting in the component port marked "Y (green)


Be sure this setup is the same for the TV's component input ports, and the DVD's component output ports.

i-Note:

For optimum picture quality you may want to purchase component cables as the gage is thicker giving better impedance match resulting in better picture and sound quality.
