There is no such thing as component audio. There is component video. That is the 3 cables that are normally red, blue and green. HDMI carries audio as well as video. What are you trying to connect to your TV?-Robert

January 29, 200817 yr Component Video is analog, HDMI is digital... not sure where audio comes into the equation, not too sure why you want to even do such a thing. Component video can display up to 1080i anyways.

January 29, 200817 yr Yes, it does support digital audio. Problem is you need a converter to convert the analog signal to 1's & 0's. You are not going to find anything cost effective to do the conversion.http://www.svideo.com/ypbpr2hdmi.htmlThis will only convert one source. You would need a switch to connect more than one source to the converter.If you only want to run one input into the TV, best route would be to use a Receiver that will convert an analog input into a digital signal, and has HDMI output to the TV.
