I have a similar concern as well. I just purchased this & don't have it yet. Even though the tech specs here doesn't say so, Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889102345) says: Composite A/V 2 (shared rear and side) Component Video 2 In For composite, by "shared", I assume the component video inputs can be used as composite instead. This customer-submitted image seems to confirm that:

No cables - you'll need at least 1 hdmi or composite to connect to cable box - others if additional device connections

No idea.. But i feel like most (don't quote me on that) technologies today are (HDMI, USB, etc.) - but I'd do more research to be sure. A Google search should suffice.

Sorry bud, you would have to contact amazon to get that answer, the picture seems to show an HDMI cable but the picture could be deceiving.

As someone else mentioned, use a VGA cable. Very easy to find, and not very expensive. Amazon has them.

I hace not opened it but you can always get the usb to multi output converter and have several hdmi or analog outs and ins. I got mine at tiger direct store where I live but I'm pretty sure amazon has them.

No, you can use single RCA cable to connect to your TV Composite Video Input

Hello,Yes there is. You have to go to the menu and go to the HDMI settings. There is a pass through option. I am not sitting in front of my equipment right now so I am going by memory but you will see it. Let me know if you need anymore help.

There are some out there and I had the same problem. I was told by a computer website that display port was a little higher than hdmi and it wouldn't work correctly so I just use display port to display port

I purchase this for a friend, but I would look into a composite to composite (red, yellow, white) on both ends or composite to S-Video (If your tv has S-Video). Also I would check with your local best buy or Radioshack store.

Yes, it works just like any HDMI cable. Both signals Audio & Video are on the cable so nothing else needed.Works really well. I saved me a lot of work as my TV only has one composite port and it;s been taken by my cable box, requiring a cable run through a wall and under a floor.

Depending on the type of hook up you are going to use, I think you would be ok with this unit. I bought mine as a gift for someone else so I don't really remember if it uses the component/composite system or the HDMI setup I would double check that before you buy.

Not this. you need an HDMI converter box. There is no such thing as an adapter cable in that instance.

No. There is a display port. I found matching symbol here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Displayport-cable.jpg

HDMI or VGA cable will work. If you only have a DVI port, you can get a HDMI to DVI adapter.

great answer and thanks for the hook-up advice. It is kind of what I figured I'd have to do so I already ordered a third HDMI cable.
