What does it need

A broken cable will have neither the odometer or the speedometer working. If your speedometer is working, then the odometer gears in the dash have stripped or come loose, and should be replaced. If the cable needs replacing, pull the cluster out of the dash and unclip the cable end from the speedometer, and unscrew the bottom fitting of cable from the transaxle.

the signal input on the cable connection to to your tv (inside your tv) is broken, and possibly needs to be replaced. Possibly few capasitors or other parts might need to be replaced. or the whole signal board.

The cable you bought has probably 3 and not 4 segments, that's why it doesn't work, because you need 3 segments for Sound and 1 for video.What you would need is a AV Cable and not a Audio cable (if it is the same cable as the Philipps portable DVD Player.You can call Philipps Customer support at 1-888-744-5477 or their retail parts company called Fox International at 1-800-370-6369.This is what I've personally done, because my cable wasn't working anymore after kids damaged it. Good luck

you need to have your basic rca cables (yellow, red and white). The cables you are referring to are composite cables and if you do not have component inputs on your tv they will be useless. You can use rca cables on any tv that has video.

No special cable needed. It will work with any standard USB cable or parallel cable. If you are installing on a network you may need to be logged in as administrator to add new hardware/software.

goto the menu and make sure it is set to cable and not to off air or local setting. after setting to cable, run an auto scan to lock in available channelss

Like above, use an optical connection (need fiber optic cable) or a coaxial connection (single RCA cable). HDMI might also work, but I personally haven't checked. Connect the audio outs from the cable box to the audio ins on the home theater. The TV will only need a video connection from the cable box, as well as one from the home theater (for DVDs, onscreen menus).

This discussion can help you set up the universal remote.

if you need a visual on it, there is a video on www.HandBookLive.com under Electronics. The example is Belkin IEEE 1394 cable (Firewire and I-Link compatable) and it connects digital camera to a laptop.

You need an Optical Audio Cable. Hook one end to the HD Cable Box and the other to your Surround Sound System. If you dont have an Optical Cable to your Cable Box, then try using the usual audio cables. But, I have HD and it worked with the Optical Audio Cable.
