Hello awesome community! I have a DVD with Component(r,b,g) connections and an old TV with Composite (r,w,y).

Hello awesome community! I have a DVD with Component(r,b,g) connections and an old TV with Composite (r,w,y). When I used composite cables to connect the two, I saw a large black rectangle in the middle of the picture. The rectangle disappeared when I toggled back and forth between TV input and DVD input. If I were to purchase a set of component cables (r,b,g) how would I match the composite (r,y,w) slots on my TV with the component (r,b,g) cable and would this get rid of the rectangle blocking the picture?

Hi
The composite r,y,w, is red for audio right,white for audio left and yellow for composite video.
The component r,b,g are all video signals.
So you cannot simply plug one into the other, you would need a component to composite converter unit.

Do you know where I can get one of these "convertor" cables. I searched around online but have not found a supplier yet.

There is one here but you may not like the price,unfortunately they are quite expensive due to the electronics involved,it is not possible to do it with a simple cable.
