Are Component Video Inputs on this switch Box digital? Does this switch box, Cables To Go 40324 3-Play Component Video and TOSLINK Digital Audio High Performance Selector Switch (Black) have the DTV component imputs that are 1080i capable?

Component and DVI are two separate types of connections. Component connections are analog. 1080i is the maximum resolution you can get via component; both your Blu-Ray player and U-Verse box SHOULD have component outputs.

I got out my Xbox 360 component cable and decided to check it out so I could answer your question and because I was curious, too. No, it does not support 1080p over the component video input. It should still look good at 1080i and it does allow the option of disabling over-scan on 1080i just like it does on 1080p. By the way, I actually had the Xbox 360 configured for 1080p on the component connection for a different device that does support 1080p and had to switch the cable off of HD to get picture so that I could figure out how to navigate to the screen mode option to take it off 1080p. I'd previously found that it does not support 1080p over the VGA input either. If you just must have 1080p with your existing Xbox 360, you could try a component to HDMI or VGA to HDMI converter box (I'd only trust a converter box to work right, not those converter cables some sell for those conversions). Be sure it either says it supports 1080p or 1920x1080 @ 60Hz (probably more applicable for VGA to HDMI) for input and output, as some don't support 1080p output.

I don't think so...there's 1 input & 4 outputs...so you can switch between AV components 1, 2, 3 or 4 but not all at the same time. I use mine for my DVD player which doesn't have an HDMI plug. I bought my switchbox when I had a 2nd component (an older Tivo) that wasn't HD and I needed a way to easily switch between them since there was only one set of Component AV inputs on the back of my Vizio TV. This switchbox worked great for that. I've since upgraded my Tivo to Tivo HD using an HDMI cable, so now I only have the DVD player on the switchbox but I'm keeping that config in case I add any other AV components to my setup in the future.

It has both a QAM tuner, used for digital cable tuning, and an ATSC tuner, for digital over-the-air antenna broadcasts. No it is not an Amazon screw-up. It is the mfg, if anyone, QAM is not on the box. Most people don't know or care what the technical name is for tuner types. They want to know if it is digital period. Another hidden piece of information; standard digital DVD players and recorders are not HD (high definition) 720 or 1080 resolution. They are SD (standard defintion) 480 only. DVDs that internally convert the 480 signal to fit an HDTV 16:9 wide screen is why you will see 1080p upconversion plastered all over DVD player boxes. No better picture(higher resolution) is gained in upconverted process. It is still a 480 lower quality standard definition picture. Only BlueRay Players/Recorders can play/record in true HD 1080i resolution. There are BlueRay recorders on the market now, but they are expensive and do not have HD Tuners I don't believe.

I just installed a Roku 3 Steaming Stick to use with a Sylvania Monitor. First of all, the User Manual only shows a description of all interfaces and that is it. There is a selector switch for 480p,720p, and 1080p. There is a Status LED for which I don't have a clue of what it does. When I first hooked it up, I switched the selector switch and only got a display for 720p, which is ok for my monitor, but it was blank. I reseated the power input plug and it showed the Roku Screen and after that point, everything went ok. When everything was up and running, the Status LED is not lit. That has been my experience with a Roku 3 Stick. I hope this might answer your question.

Component can support 1080p, but the current agreements between hardware manufacturers caps implemented resolution at 1080i. This is in order that HDCP over HDMI be allowed to reign supreme over all our media content viewings. If they enabled 1080p over Component, then there would be easy(er) ways to bypass the DRM on High-Def discs and programming.So I doubt you're getting 1080p over component unless you've done some hacking.

It converts the component input to an hdmi output. It does not convert the other way.

No. From looking at the STR-DG920 documentation (downloaded from the support section of www.sonystyle.com), the receiver upconverts everything to HDMI and also upconverts composite video sources to component, but HDMI sources are *not* downconverted to component or composite. (I've yet to see any A/V receivers that downconvert from HDMI to component.)

This box will convert analog inputs of component video and S/PDIF Optical Toslink and Digital Coaxial audio to a digital HDMI output.

Found this on the MonoPrice site. "* The S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coax audio output formats are based on the HDMI audio output. If any of the sync devices (e.g., HDTV, Projector, etc.) connected to the output can only support stereo audio, then the S/PDIF Optical (Toslink) and Digital Coaxial outputs will be limited to PCM stereo audio."

Yes i tried both ways....i first burned it as a data disc and i also tried creating AVCHD DVD....in both cases i saw that PS3 audio is choppy in 1080p mode.....1080i doesnt seem to have any issues. The video camera itself plays the 1080p with no issues when connected directly to my HDTV....is this an issue with my PS3 ? has anyone tried this ?

No, this device converts component video output to HDMI. It's the opposite of what you're looking for. First you need to confirm what input types your standard def TV has. The best standard def input type is component video, which has 3 dedicated video RCA jacks (Red, Blue & Green - AKA: RGB). The next best standard input type is S-video, which is a round jack with several pin holes and one square hole to make sure you plug it in correctly and don't damage the cable's pins. The 3rd best connection would be the Coaxial (F-type) input used for cable tv and the least best standard def video connection is 1 Composite Video rca jack, which is usually yellow. Once you confirm which is your best video input for your TV, then you can search for a cable that connects (converter not likely needed) HDMI to that connection type. For instance, a cable that is HDMI to Component video, HDMI to S-video, HDMI to Coaxial (F-type), or HDMI to composite video.

Nguyen,Thanks for the reply. According to the manual on page 7 of the Connections section the component connection supports outputs of 480p, 720p, and 1080i. But on page 22 under Component Video Resolution it says:Even if you select "720p" or "1080i", images are output in 480p when you play DVD-Video.To me this means that if I play a Blu-ray disk (BD-Video) I will get 1080i on my Sony KF60WE610 (as long as the disk does not prohibit it). But if I play a regular DVD (DVD-Video) I will only get 480p. The CNET review of the player seems to confirm this information.If you have any additional information that refutes this conclusion please let me know. Thanks again for your input.

Your TV's lack of HDMI renders this player unusable, regardless of your receiver's capabilities. I'd recommend the 980H, but that does not perform as well with PAL conversion. There are rumors of a future model, the DV-983H, which may (or may not) support component video. Note, however, that CSS-encrypted discs will not upconvert over component.One thought though... if your TV has a DVI input you might be able use an HDMI-DVI adapter (which is what I did).

I'm not currently using this device anymore, so I can't test this answer. The Toslink does output the digital audio from whatever HDMI inputis selected. However, I call having to push one extra button (the ARC button) sometimes to make sure the audio is going to the right place-that is, Toslink instead of HDMI. In other words, there is only one digital audio stream and you have to pick where it goes. Having to push one button toselect the HDMI source, and another to get the audio going to the right place, all in the darkness of my home theater was probably the reason I just upgradedmy receiver in the end.

Not sure what a toslink cable is but the connection options are USB, hdmi, digital optical and RCA. There is only one aux input and the USB so I had to connect my TV via digital optical because I used the one auxiliary for my Sonos. The HDMI from my tv to the unit is only good for use when in DVD mode. had to use optical to for normal cable tv watching through stereo. You could always use the USB a well with a cable that has USB to RCA. That's if you needed connect that's many components

Okay I see the input formats but, what do the connections equate to; I.e. VGA (CPU connector), HDMI (duh), D-Sub (is this VGA as well?), RGB (is this the 3 RCA color wires?), Digital (do they mean S-Video?), etc.
