AnswerIf you want them in 1080p yes. HDMI stands for "high definition multimedia interface" and will do both your audio and video.

You can also use the component cables (the 5 cables with the green, blue etc) This will make it in 1080i. The naked eye can tell zero difference between 1080p & 1080i. The p stand for progressive & the i for interlaced. Both are high quality HDTV. The HDMI & 1080p is newer & considered to be the best though.

To watch a Bluray disc in high definition, an HDMI cable to the television is needed. However, almost all Bluray players have an analog, standard definition output that can be connected to televisions that are not HD and do not have HDMI inputs.

To watch a movie in HD, then an HDMI cable is needed. If you only have the option of connecting with analog cables, then almost all Bluray players have an analog output. The signal will only be in standard definition but you can watch the movie.

It depends on what kind ofconnection you need. If your bluray DVD player disc only takes vga output and your tv only has a hdmi input then you will need a vga to hdmi cord.

Does a Sony Blu-ray play 3d Blu-ray?

Bluray players are backwards compatible so they will play standard DVDs as well as Bluray discs. Note that although the DVD is being played by a Bluray player, it does not make it HD quality. Some bluray players will up-convert the standard definition image from 480 or 576 lines up to 1080 lines but although the format is HD, the image quality still remains standard definition.
