Answered my own question by downloading the manual. The composite and component cables have 1/4" connectors that plug into the WD box and then the red/blue/green or red/white/yellow into your tv.

I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and... » Read More I'm a work now and I use the HDMI, but for a week or two I used the composite and components cables that come with the unit.They are NOT your common cables.For instance the audio cable has the typical two plugs on one end and the end that plugs into WD is a single plug with two concentric plugs.Likewise for the video, one side is three pigtail connectors and the side that plugs into the WD is a single mini plug with three concentric plugs.bottom line is that on the back of the WD one single hole is for a three wire pigtail and one single hole is for the red and white audio.These cables come with WD ... note that the HDMI is the way to go if you can ... it is a much better picture and sound « Show Less

I lost my "mini to composite A/V splitter cable", does anyone know where I can buy one which works with the WD?Thanks!

You've got that right, unlike apple's tv (that uses only HDMI), this WD TV also works with Composite/Component cables.

One of the posters talks about the picture quality while using non-HDTV. I think he said he has it in a trailer, so no HDTV. Also, this unit doesn't have an S-Video connection, which is what is needed to get the best quality standard def. picture (at least that's my understanding). Which tells me that this unit is really not intended mainly for standard def viewing. Vizio, Sharp, and Philips make some units still with S-video connections. Maybe some others do, too, but so far I've found only those three brands. And if I had to guess, I would guess that eventually they'll all stop putting in S-Video connections, as more and more people start subscribing to HDTV.

To make a long story short, you have to use HDMI, Composite doesn't work. more info here (you are out of luck for a SD TV set.)http://androidtvbox.us/topic/component-rbg-does-not-work/

I had the exact same question and called Amazon for an answer. They were their typical helpful selves. and said since I'd asked b-4 buying, they'd refund my money if it did not since there was confusion. Even though it is not shown in the picture, nor is it listed in the description, the unit shipped to me DOES have a USB port on the front right-hand side in addition to the HDMI port on the rear wall.

Caitlin Gagnon, The HDMI cable is not included in the box. It would need to be purchased separately. There are a great number of inexpensive HDMI cables available on Amazon here that should work just fine:

C component ( now mostly used if you still have a old video recorder or old gaming consol's to give it beter quality) but the B and the F i think it got to to with the sound and imige cables idk. as for the use of the item component has 5 cables and it will make it so that it fits a samsung TV that can use this signal cable.

"Component" is correct. Tough keeping up with all the changes. Went ahead and ordered two 15' Metabridge HDMIs from Amazon which came to less than $40.00 delivered (they didn't have 12'). One is for the blue ray and the other for satellite HD when I get converted. Can't believe local box-store wants $50.00 for one 12' set! Thanks for your input.

Nevermind, it has Connectivity*Rear Connections: Analog audio Left/Right out, ComponentVideo out Progressive, Composite video (CVBS) output, Digital coaxial out, HDMI output*Front / Side connections: USBwhich was found at: http://www.p4c.philips.com/files/d/dvp3560_f7/dvp3560_f7_pss_aen.pdf(by something called Google)

yes, it has the composite cables, red, white and yellow. to get the most out of it, get yourself an hdmi cable.

It does have a COMPOSITE video output, but not COMPONENT video outputs.

Can you please explain this? I have been using a tv from 1995 and use a co-axial cable to hook it up. I am not familiar with HDMI cable, so if this is the only type that plugs into the tv, how can I hook the other end up to my cable box and DVD player? The cable box is newer so may be compatible, but the DVD player is fairly old as well. I don't want to buy a tv that I can't use my DVD player with. Thank you!

In case anyone was still looking into this question. I received this tv as an xmas gift and it does have 2 coponent hookups in back, 1 svideo in back, and 2 hdmi hookups on the side....

There is only one component/composite input, one RF coaxial cable input, and two hdmi inputs(side/rear). I run all my devices through a A/V receiver with the hdmi. There is an optical audio out as well.

Best way to see the answer to your query is to zoom into the photo of the rear panel. Everything you need to know is right there.I have a TV, DVD and cable box hooked up to this unit and it works great! Love this unit.

The LD450 does have two composite connections. On a side note you can get HD component cables for the wii for about $7 shipped. Purchasers state that they did notice improvement on their hd tvs. I'll have to wait till my tv arrives to confirm. Cable located here 6FT. HD Component Cable for Nintendo Wii

Hi, just purchased Sony STRDH-720 and would like to connect my wii using component cables. The problem is no image is being displayed when i connect the cables in.Could someone point me in the right direction as to which imputs to connect the composite leads into and also the audio leads? Thank youAlistair.

OK; now I'm understanding why I was confused. My TV has a VGA input, so the the composite cable was not a concern for me.
