I have a Sony 53" HDTV with two Component video inputs. Only one of the inputs works for HD and that one displays a green picture. Using the other inputs will not give me HD. Anyone know how I can fix the my HD input?

Your unit is HDTV ready but is not an HDTV. It is capable of displaying HDTV only through the component inputs. Your tuner is analog NTSC and will not receive HDTV or digital.

You could get an HDTV picture using a Blue Ray DVD and hooking up the component connectors from the DVD to the TV.

The only other way would be to get an HDTV tuner with a component output and hook it up the same way, component out to component in, and hook the tuner input to an off air antenna (receiving HDTV) or cable or satellite with HD signals.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

in order to send hd video to your HDTV, you will need to use a hdmi cable. If you are planning to use component cables make sure you have component output from camcorder..still it is not HD.

Your TV accepts HD inputs from HD cable boxes, video game systems, Bluray players etc. There is no adaptor needed just connect the HD device to the component inputs on the back of the TV which are GREEN/BLUE/RED in color. Please take a moment to rate my answer. Thanks..

if you are using component cables, make sure all are plugged in on both the back of the tv and the cable box. (component cables will have a red and white audio and red, blue, green video)

No, that will not damage the input. But if you are using component input and the green wire is off or not connected correctly it will prevent a picture from coming on. The green is the luminance and carries the main picture signal.

Hi there,
I am having a similar problem with the inputs. I have a cable box plugged in to cable antenna, DVD to video 6 using HDMI, Mac computer plugged in to video 7 - using HDMI (TV does not recognize this) and then Nintendo Wii hooked up to Video 1. My problem is that Sony only realizes 2 additional components like the video 1 (wii) and DVD on video 6, it does not play the other components. I have to niw manually switch the cables to have them work...

On this TV there is only one input for any HD resolution. Input # 5 is the component input i.e. red/green/blue cable. Just get the correct cable and match colors from cable box to TV this will allow the TV to display 1080i resolution ( only one this TV supports ). FYI you will also have to connect the red and white cables to the appropriate inputs to get any sound because red/green/blue connectors are just for video display not sound. Once your connected you'll be able to access video # 5 be sure to set your cable box to 1080i resolution also. I hope this helps later J.

Hello iehoryna,

The answer is yes, you will be able to pick up and display HD channels. You will have to use your component video cables between your cable box and your TV. Component video will allow you to view low to medium end HD pictures.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

thanks.

I don't have the XBR, but on my sony, using the cable box remote, I had to go into menu/display/etc. and mark the 1080i, 720p, and 480i settings. you usually get a "if you can see this" comment if your tv accepts the settings. for standard tv i set the screen to normal, and when the upper channels go to HD, they auto go to full screen. Sounds like you are using the component cable, and also make sure you are on the video port of remote, and the the TV input. The above worked for mine. Hope it helps.
