component video-digital or analog?

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

As I mentioned earlier I am getting a DVI cable and will run a digital
optical audio cable to my receiver. When I get the DVI I want audio for the
TV also. Are the component ports digital or analog? Can I use regular RCA
audio plugs in the inputs for audio that are in the same line as the
component video ports?

Dennis...if you are reading this you have the same TV as me. My component
cables are in my "video 6" ports. Under the 3 video ports are 2 audio
ports...this is what I am referring to.

Thanks!!

Thanks, Randy...I forgot to mention that I already have component video, so
I know about that...my question is regarding audio only.

DVI carries a Digital Video HD signal only....
Run DVI cable from Cable box to the Sony #7... then
run two audio cables from Cable Box to TV #7 audio.
This will give you Dolby 2.0 Stereo.
FOR Dolby Digital 5.1 (IF transmitted over HD) you
need 1 coax or optical TOS link to an A/V Receiver &
Speaker system

Are the component ports digital or analog?
Component Video Cables carry an Analog HD signal.

For Audio Stereo... use any pair of RCA, Component, or
coax cables... Red & White work just fine..

Your Sony 34HS510 can not accept Dolby Digital 5.1
surround. Red & White RCA Audio cables will get
DD 2.0 stereo to your 3 Sony HDTV speakers....
34HS510 Sound system is pretty Good... Boomy too.
