They are just RCA plugs.



here's what Consumer Reports says...

"Component-video inputs split the video signal into three parts: two for
color and one for luminance. This provides slightly better quality than
S-video, most evident in color fidelity. They're often used with DVD
players, high-definition satellite receivers, and cable boxes. What it
looks like: red, green, and blue RCA jacks."


They're also used to connect CD players, tuners, and suchlike to amps and
receivers. I run a pair of these jacks directly from my DVD player into my
NAD amplifier, and bypass the TV set's audio circuits. I also run a pair
of jacks out of my TV set to the amp, so that when the broadcast program
has some good sound to offer, I can control it.

Same connectors, different signals.
