For audio, your TV speakers can't handle the improved, surround sound of BDs or DVDs. You need to get a sound system and speakers.

That's what I got today component cables. But he said it would bring the stand dvd's 3 times better. but I see no change. what does 480i mean? it says on the box it's 720p/1080i/ my tv is 1080i i'm using that resolution on the br player!

I also have to use a module box with the yellow white wires otherwise my dvd player won't work. Because my hd cable box wires have to be hooked up in the back of the tv!
