Even if your TV doesn't have an HDMI port, you can still hook up your Blu-ray player/DVD player to get high-definition video and audio to your TV. Component cables also support 1080p HD signals, but the interface requires more cables than HDMI. The connection will take a bit longer since you have more cables to connect.
