Yes, depending on what you are planning on connecting to your television. If the device you are connecting has an HDMI output, HDMI is the only connection you will need. HDMI carries high definition audio and video.

You will need a HD converter box from the cable company, it might have a HDMI jack for the cable to connect to the HDTV.

You will also need an HDMI cable to view movies on a newer Blu-Ray Disc player, as manufacturers have agreed that the component output will no longer be able to output 1080i or 1080p high definition video.

To view something in HD you must use a HDMI cable.

_____________________________

A 1080i signal, which is the highest video quality of HDTV in North America, can be transmitted on component video cables, although many HD boxes are losing this type of output, and Blu-Ray players made in the past few years have the component video output crippled so that the signal is pushed down to 480p (DVD quality) on this connection.

That depends on your hardware configuration. Some smart TV's come with an inbuilt Netflix app. If this is the case with yours then you will not need anything but a Netflix account. If your Netflix is being streamed to your TV from an external device then an HDMI cable will be needed to connect this device to the HDMI input of your TV.

Do you have to have an HDMI cable to have HD on your PS3 or can you connect it into the HDMI component on my TV?

Yes with Propriatary Sony Component Cables. Here's a Link. http://www.gamestop.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=802600 PS3 has a HDMI output that can take the PS3 HDMI combo A/V cable that comes with the console when purchased and is used for standard 480 TVs or you can use an optional PS3 Component and HDMI cable or a HDMI cable with the HDMI plug on both ends. So on every PS3 cable one end has a HDMI plug that goes into the PS3 and the other end of the cable has different connections including one optional cable with S-Video on the other end.

Connect the digital audio output of the DVD to the the HRT-6130. The HDMI inputs on the HRT6130 are only pass-through, so audio needs to be connected on another cable. If you have a HDMI output on the DVD player, use a HDMI cable to connect it to the TV.

Should you buy an AV cable or a HDMI cable for your ps3?

The PlayStation 3 comes with an A/V Cable for non HDTV reception. If your HDTV has only Component connections then you should purchased the PS3 component cable, otherwise purchase the HDMI cable. The component cable has a number of plugs which must be connected to the HDTV and the HDMI has only a single plug so is the preferred method to connect the PS3 to the HDTV.

What is the best HDMI cable to connect a PS3 to a LCD 1080p LED HDTV?

The best HDMI cable is not necessary or recommended. Walmart sells Sony PS3 HDMI cables and you to even upgrade to a higher cost and quality Sony HDMI Cable. That is what I did only because Walmart was out of the PS3 HDMI cables when I got the PS3 went to purchase a HDMI cable. I purchased a Flat Sony HDMI cable for $45. You can pay over $100 for an HDMI cable and still not have the best and not be able to tell the reception from another name brand cable sold for $20. I plugged other devices (Sony Camera, Cable Box) into the Sony BR6 HDTV with Belkin HDMI cables and get fine reception.

How do you connect sinotec DVD player to LG television?

Very very easy. does your DVD Player ( Home theatre ) have a HDMI cable? If it does, you can just buy an HDMi cable and connect it to Hdmi 1 on your tv and the other end to the Dvd Player and the sound a video will be very crisp. Alternatively, you can use an AV cable ( cable with yellow plugs on the end) and connect it to an AV output on your tv and DVD player. If you are using only the tv's sound this will work, but if you are using a amp,etc. you can connect 2 RCA cables to the tv and the amp for the sound.


Can you connect your ps3 directly with your internet cable i dont have a modem nor router only internet cable can i still connect with that?

No. The PS3 can only have a wired connection with an ethernet cable. The only other connection that is possible is WiFi. The PS3 can only connect to the internet with WiFi or ethernet cable no other type connection is possible. You can not use the HDMI or USB port to connect the PS3 to the internet. I do not believe a router can be connected to the internet cable without a modem or that you can have cable internet without a modem
