Misc How do I connect the wii-component-cable to my sharp tv?

[77Urmel77]

I have a Sharp lc-40cfg6022e tvset with a mini ypbpr adapter port. Now I have no clue how to connect the red and white audio connectors to my tv because the mini adapter doesn´t provide their counterparts. I´m stuck so help would be great.

Is there a port for headphones next to the adapter port? A photo of the ports on the TV would help.

You should also post a pic of your TV's inputs.
Googling doesn't provide that information.
I'm assuming it's using stupid 3.5 inputs.

This is the cable you need:

You need FEMALE audio inputs with a 3.5 jack out that you must connect to a stereo or speaker... assuming your TV doesn't has the audio input.

I have taken two photos. But as you see I´m no artist. The tvset has two connector panels.

The headphone jack is in use to send the tv´s audio to my hifi. And the AV IN is linked to my PS2. The three HDMI ports also are occupied.

Just plug the adapter you already have into the AV socket on the TV and plug the yellow cable from the Wii into each of the RCA sockets in turn - start from green, because that's the most common wiring (although unfortunately it's not 100% standardized) - if you get a picture, you just found the video input - if you get a loud 60Hz buzz, you are plugged into an audio output.

Once you find the video, plug the red and white wires into the other two inputs and see if the stereo seems to be the right way around - if not, then swap red and white.

I want to connect this cable.

[Never mind.]

You'll need to use another 3.5mm adapter (someone posted a picture of it above) then plug it into the AV input jack. It seems like a common practice with TVs to just use the AV ports for component audio instead of adding them separately.

I´ll test and reply as soon as the new cable arrives.

Or better yet, just buy a Wii-HDMI adapter. Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0753CZ8MC?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Those are generally pretty bad. Even if the picture and sound are good, the latency is usually horrible because they often use converters meant for film - they have no latency requirements, just A/V sync needs. Using a component cable is going to be better than an external HDMI converter. (Although not better than HDMI modding the Wii, or using a proper adapter on a DOL-001 GameCube)

It's perfectly sensible. Both composite and Y/Pb/Pr use RCA jacks. Modern TVs with component support even usually merge the yellow composite video with the green component sync.

I personally use the above adapter and have not noticed any lag at all - NONE. My TV has both component and HDMI connections, and for years I have been connected through component. However, I plan on getting a new TV in the near future, so it was a perfect opportunity to test out the HDMI converter since they are inexpensive. I have run numerous tests and have not detected any latency. The converter does not convert resolution, but simply converts analog to digital. The output is still 720p. If you want to increase the resolution, then you can run the video through something dedicated such as a stereo receiver, which will introduce some latency.

Today the cable arrived and it really works by mixing the connections. Audio from composite-adaptor and picture via component-adaptor and I like it very much the way the output looks now. Thank you all.
