Does this player allow you to use component video cables? My current HDTV doesn't have a HDMI jack

The video outputs available on this player are shown on page 10 of the owner's manual which can be found at http://service.us.panasonic.com/OPERMANPDF/DMPBDT500-MUL.PDF .

Yes, component out is available, but please note that with all Blu-ray players manufactured after December 2010, component output is converted down to 480i/p.http://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news/2011/02/goodbye-hd-component-video-hollywood-hastens-the-analog-sunset/index.htm

This player comes with the color coded 3 plugs (yellow= video red and white = audio) This style cannot be adapted to older TVs unless you have a RF switch adapter. which is not included. so to answer your question....No.

Not sure I am understanding the question. You can purchase HDMI cables or the red/yellow/white component cables and hook up to your cable/tv system. Did you get directions/manual with the TV? There is usually a quick set up guide.

I have a regular TV (Standard Def) with component inputs, can I use this player (as a standard dvd player) with my regular TV. I plan on buying a HDTV in the future and I want a standard def. dvd player for now.

The player comes with RCA cables. The player is not HD, so it does not have an HDMI port. The player works well.

This player only has an HDMI output. Does your TV have component video inputs? These would be three RCA jacks that are blue, red and green. If so, you can get an HDMI to component video adapter. I've never used one and have no idea how well they work. If you just have a yellow RCA video input jack, then you'd be better off buying a non-blu ray player, as you can't get high definition video through the single yellow video input. Hope this helps!

I hooked it up to my TV using a component cable so I could run audio through my stereo. Otherwise it hooks up to a TV like any other player.

This player has Component Video output jacks, so it should work just fine in this mode. Your situation is pretty much what I started with when I got my NS700H. You won't see much if any improvement on video quality with your existing TV, but you will with your new one, assuming it has YPbPr/HDMI/DVI input capability.

No, it is not a standalone player - it's possible that the TV could have a USB port and player firmware built in, but I don't know any TVs that do that. There is no HDMI port on the drive.

No. Component is analog and hdmi is digital. If there is such a cable it is a scam.

Your TV's lack of HDMI renders this player unusable, regardless of your receiver's capabilities. I'd recommend the 980H, but that does not perform as well with PAL conversion. There are rumors of a future model, the DV-983H, which may (or may not) support component video. Note, however, that CSS-encrypted discs will not upconvert over component.One thought though... if your TV has a DVI input you might be able use an HDMI-DVI adapter (which is what I did).

This blu-ray player has just 1 HDMI Input, and 1 HDMI output, I have uploaded some pictures of the backside of the player for you to look at. you may need a HDMI switcher...

You will have to "assign" the component being used as a component input (explained in the manual). It will do component and analog, like your older dvd player, cd player, ect. No s-video. It will play it through the hdmi, but the receiver will not convert the signal to hd.

no ... it does not have HDMI input .... it has RCA (analog) and SPDIF coax (digital)

No, you did the right thing. There isn't really any difference between component cables and HDMI. 91 bucks seems pricey, I bought one a year ago for 30 bucks. The only advantage over HDMI is it carries both audio and video. Also when HDCP is implemented you don't have to worry about your videos not playing over component, but that won't be done for years.

It comes with a 3 cables (right speaker, left speaker and video). No HDMI cables are provided, though hookups are present on the VCR/DVD player. There is not a standard coaxial cable hookup on the player.
