How to Set Up Your PS3 to Component Outputs on a Mitsubishi TV

If you don't want to connect your PlayStation 3 to your Mitsubishi or if you don't have an available HDMI port, the next best option for connecting your PS3 is by using component cables. Although component cables don't match HDMI's resolution of 1080p, they do offer the next best thing: 1080i. Connecting your PS3 to your Mitsubishi TV is as easy as matching the colors on the back of the TV with the color of the plugs on the component cable.
