Component has no audio right?( Newbie Alert)

[Hotshot147]

I will be getting a plasma shortly, and i dont have any surround yet.My question might sound silly to the experts ,but if i hook up my dvd with component leads will i be able to get sound somehow.Do i need some extra leads from my dvd to plasma.

Regards.

Well it depends on what plasma you are getting and what DVD player you have.

The panasonic plasmas and Crt tvs share the AV4 input with scart and componenet. You simply hook up with a scart lead and componenet leads, watch through the compoenent input and get sound throught the scart lead.

To be specific to your original question then Component is purely visual only!

Sound has to be treated seperately, I have no experience re your particular plasma so take Daves advice re the Panny.

I to am getting a PV500 next week, and planned to connect my Denon DHT500 to it via a good quality component lead, can anyone recommend one??

I thought that component carried sound, what is peoples opinons on what else I need to connect the denon to the PV500 over and above the component lead?

One of the best value/quality component leads you can get are These from the forum powerbuy

They are highly recommended by many members of this forum.

If you have surround sound DVD then you won't need to worry about connecting a SCART for sound. Just the component will do.
