Can you hook a Wii system up to the tv without the hdmi converter? Also what sort of cable should I buy to connect to the cable outlet?

It has the standard composite (the yellow, red, and white cord) and component (red, green, and blue cord) inputs, so you can hook anything up with those. And it has, again, the standard coaxial connector for cable or antenna.

Yes. Just plug it in the GameCube ports on the top of the Wii. Just be sure that your Wii has the ability to play/use GameCube games and/or controllers before buying.

You will also need a HDMI cable to plug into this. Once you have that, it works great. I bought this and the cable from the same place. Good price and excellent service.

If the ps3 is hooked through a HDMI cable, youre gonna have to hook it up through another way. Its basically built through component cables but i would still recommend buying it. It is worth every penny. You can look through YouTube to get an eazy tutorial to do it that way.

You would not need this. The advantage of this part is to allow you to plug your WII into an HDMI connector on your receiver or TV. If you already have the ability to plug it into component cables on your TV or receiver, then you don't need this part.

I assume you would need such a part that is compatible with the Wii, although I do not know of such a part. Also you could achieve the same effect by purchasing an extender and placing it close to the Wii.

the Wii resolution is 480P and you cant change the resolution of the Wii only the tv aspect ratio. On the actual converter there is a little switch which you can change the resolution from 720p & 1080p. I basically plugged this converter in made sure the resolution setting was at 1080p, connected the hdmi cable to it and then to tv and that was it. It worked perfectly. Its may be possible that you recieved a faulty unit.

I looked up your television model you only have one slot for component cables just plug in the matching colors red to red white to white green to green blue to blue etc. Cables work great. Make sure to change wii settings to 480p under settings

as far as I know they are not hybrid component connections. you will need to get a component cable for your wii. with my wii I had to go through a few cables before I found one that would work with this device.

If you can run all the Wii inputs to the TV and then use optical out from the TV to the sound bar. This is how I have mine set up with satellite receiver, Toshiba DVD player/recorder and Amazon Fire TV box. I leave the sound bar input to TV, never have to switch it.

This cable is not required for PS3/Xbox 360/Nintendo Wii...You can use an HDMI cable or even the 5-prong HD cables (green/blue/red video output, white/red sound output) they provide with the systems.

My cable goes through the wall. I tried re-plugging it in, restarting it, using connections in other rooms, etc. I also use my Wii through the aux cords and occasionally I plug in my Wii U through the HDMI port. No matter what I was using, the screen was still messed up. I'm not sure if that's what you were trying to get at with your question? I hope I answered it fully though. =]

Many TVs have a component input location the is made up of five ports. There are 3 for the 3 colors the tv displays and 2 for audio of course. If your TV does not have a place to plug in the component cables, you will need to get a converter. Your TV probably has and hdmi input. If not, just stick with the composite cable. The wii isn't a high definition device anyway so you won't display in 1080p ever with it. These cables do work for Wii U.

Thanks Jacob. That was the conclusion I came to as well after spending several hours researching. The standard cables that came with the Wii will not work correctly on the TV. I ordered the cable from monoprice.com for less than $3 so hopefully they will work fine.Again, thanks and happy holidays!

If I plug component cables in (say from my wii) will the head unit convert the a/v signals and send it out through the hdmi out? Our does the hdmi out only push through hdmi signals?

If you have component cables, you can record through the Wii. I actually have my component cables running from the Wii to the Hauppauge, then to my TV, so it definitely works.
