I HAVE A HISENSE HSLC8133A TV WHICH HAS A COMPONENT INPUT BUTTON AND HDMI BUTTON BUT THE REST OF THE INPUTS ARE CONTROLLED BY MAIN CH. BUTTON (INCLUDING THE ABOVE). I AM TRYING TO SET THE TV TO VGA INPUT VIA THE HARMONY REMOTE BUT IT WILL NOT GOT TO THE CORRECT INPUT BECAUSE THERE IS NO DIRECT BUTTON TO BRING UP THE VGA INPUT. WHEN YOU SET IT UP USING THE PROPER METHOD IN THE HARMONY REMOTE IT STILL WONT GO TO VGA.

SOURCE: Component Video inputs do not work

I started back in the day of tubes. A family would have one set and it would be a 19" black and white. There are different resolutions now. The components probably do work, but, they don't pass the 480i signal. The satelite converter's analog signal needs to be set to 480p and the DVD needs to be set to progressive if it does have that setting. If the DVD is not a progressive scan DVD, then, the only inputs that it will show on is the analog signal. Some of the dish converters have a switch on the face for changing the resolution. If yours doesn't then put it in an analog source and go to the menu and change it there. Then move it to the component input. Hope this helps.

SOURCE: PC videocard-HDMI input not working any more.

There is acompany that makes such a converter BUT it is getting hard to get because HDCP (hd copy protection) can be bypassed with it. I will get the company name for you but search ebay for a hdmi to component converter. It works pretty well. You may need to get the HDMI to DVI converter cable for $8 as well.

Simplest thing would be that your component cables are not HU'd correctly. Having them reversed would do this.

SOURCE: Mitsubishi HDMI connection trouble

I have the same issue with my 73". Rather then going over all of my connections and equipment I'll just say htat I feel your frustration. I have been on the phone with Mitsubishi directly and it appears as though they have a free software upgrade that should address this problem. If you call 1-800-332-2119 and press 4 in the menu you will get someone to help you. Be patient. They will make you go through all of the fixes that you have already tried. They will mail you a flash drive that goes right into the front USB port of your TV. I hope this is of help. Good luck.

SOURCE: connect Macbook Pro to Component input

you should be able to use an SVGA to component rca connector on any component input - i have a wd-65513, and thats how I have my pc hooked up to it. I could also never get a clear picture using the SVGA plug on the back of the set.
