I recently bought a new SamsungTV, which is connected to the Comcast box with HDMI cable. When I connected an older Sony DVD player with component cable, it plays DVDs, but no sound. Is this a no-no?
 
Solution
Red/blue/green would be the correct cable for component video. You would ALSO need the red/white. Your TV may not have red/white audio in.

I first tried 3 (red/yellow/white), then another 3 (green/blue/red), neither worked for audio.
