Home Theater - Hdtv and hdmi cable help?

Expert: M A Khan - 10/25/2009

Question
im getting a new hdtv soon and was wondering if i have 3 hd components (blu-ray player, time warner cable box, and ipod dock) would i need 4 hdmi cables? one for the tv? so my question is does my tv by itself without any components need an hdmi cable?

Answer
Hello Darrin,
Yes you do.
HDMI is a HD Multimedia Interface. This connection carries HD video and HD audio.
You will connect Blue Ray and Cable Box Using HDMI.
ipod is not a HDMI device and needs to be connected using RCA cables if u want to listen to ipod using TV speakers.
Thanks
