Yeah, it's probably confusion on the voters' parts.
I use composite for consoles, VGA for my PC. 10/13/2005 10:17:00 PM |

I use s-video now. I'm gonna move over to component for video and optical for audio. Video goes into mythTV computer, then either to LCD monitor or my TV (27" sony trinitron, nothing special). Audio goes to Audigy2 Platinum (in same computer), then out to some crappy logitech surround speakers. 10/14/2005 12:35:48 AM |

it says 3 RCA cables, so people are probally including the audio in that. That could be a common mistake with kids... 10/14/2005 1:08:50 AM |

Is it possible? Yes.
But it's more likely that ^ is correct. People see "3 cables" and think their composite connection is actually component.10/14/2005 2:33:53 AM |

Component for the X-Box and DVD player. S-Video for the computer and the DVD player (if the Box is on component) Composite for PS2, GC, and the rest of the systems. 10/14/2005 8:36:44 PM |
