[QUOTE="m021478, post: 690559, member: 40657"] I just read[URL="http://sewelldirect.com/DVI-to-Component-Adapter-Cable-6ft.asp"] the footnote at the bottom of the page[/URL] I linked to in this thread's initial post, in which it points out that this DVI-to-Component cable will not work with a PC or Mac!! Anyone have any alternate suggestions? Unfortunately, due to my current A/V system configuration I cannot plug directly into my TV (all of my A/V equipment is located in a rack in the basement of my 3-story apartment, and my TV is located in the living room on the top floor...I would most likely be able to get video by plugging directly into the TV, but there would be no way to hook up the audio, as my speakers run through the receiver in the basement) Seeing as how I cannot connect my Mini directly to my TV to use VGA, and also the fact that my receiver doesn't provide any HDMI inputs (the only HD input is does provide is 'component'), I need to somehow find a way to go DVI video-out from my Mac-mini to component-in on my receiver...As far as I can tell, this would appear to be the only way to maintain an HD quality output from my Mini to my TV...Any Thoughts?
