blu ray player component video output image
Father Tim
Please help, looking to play Blu Ray audio through my DVD/Surround Sound. The Blu Ray player only has a HDMI output, so it is hooked up to the TV. The TV is connected to the DVD/Surround Sound via component. Right now I can see the picture, but I can't see the audio. If it matters, the Cable box is hooked to the tv with HDMI.
Answer
Component (green, red, blue RCA cables) is video only. So from what you've described, you haven't sent any audio to your sound system.
Some dvd/surround systems (especially the cheaper ones) are players only, meaning they don't have any audio inputs to connect anything else to them. In that case, the speakers are only for the built-in dvd player. You didn't say what the tv can output and what the sound system can input so I'm going to have to write a lot of "if"s:
If the Blu-ray player only has hdmi and the sound system doesn't have hdmi input (likely), you'll have to use the tv's audio output. You can only get stereo this way, not full surround sound. Most tvs have optical (s/pdif) as the only output. If your sound system has optical in, use that. If it has digital coaxial (another kind of s/pdif) input, you can get an "optical to digital coaxial" converter. If the sound system only has analog (red/white RCA) input and the tv has a headphone jack, you can connect it that way using a "3.5mm to rca" cable. This is your lowest-cost option and not really any worse than anything else. Last one: If there's no headphone jack but the tv does have optical out, you can get an "optical to analog rca" converter as well.
It's up to you to decide if all this is worth it. If your tv speakers already sound good, it may not be worth jumping through hoops to get the (stereo only) sound out of the sound system's speakers. Someone will probably come along and tell you to just buy a new surround sound system with hdmi (or at least s/pdif) input :)
The way to get surround out of Blu-ray, by the way, would be to connect the Blu-ray player to the sound system via hdmi or s/pdif but that doesn't sound like an option with your current equipment. I personally prefer a player with more output options for this reason.

Will a wifi blu ray player work with my old crt tube tv?

Assuming i used component cables (because this tv doesnt have hdmi), would the blu ray player and the wifi work on the tv? Or does it need to be a high def flat panel tv?
Answer
Newer Blu Ray players do not have analog (including component) video outputs. I doubt if you will find any new ones with it.
I recently bought a refurbished model just because the old design had analog video out. Finding one with both analog out and built in WiFi seems unlikely, but I didn't look for one.
