XBOX HD AV Cable

If I have a non-HDTV that does however accept 480i component video
input, can I use the HD AV cable to hook it up to component video? If
yes, does it improve the picture quality significantly when compared to
the regular RCA?

Thanks.

YES.

Component video, even at 480i is much much MUCH superior to the single RCA
cable.

S-video is somewhere in between.

You'll definitely notice the difference - especially if you use the XBox
to play movies.

I use it on my projection tv which only has 480i
and yes I do see a significant difference....
I don't kow if it makes much of a difference on
a smaller set but on the old 61" it is alot nicer picture
using component cables

Yes you can. Make sure you have your TV settings correct in your Xbox
dashboard.

Basically,

With an (480i only) SDTV

RF Adapter (yuck!) --> composite (better) --> SVideo (much better than
composite!) --> Component (slighty better than SVid)
