Phono Coupler

Hi all.

I have a PHILIPS 32PF3320 HD Ready TV. For some reason HD will be via DVI-I.

I have an xbox 360 component cable but I do not have component in. When we purchased the TV, it had 3 male component leads to DVI-I convertor.

My question is, can I use phono couplers to add them together? Both the Xbox lead and DVI convertor are male leads.

Thanks

Hi HD,

There isn't a DVI or HDMI cable available for the 360, it only has a VGA or component output. Will probably come in the future, but not for the foreseeable future.

Cheers

Andy
