all of the above are correct. more or less. it's called composite usually only when you're speaking about the video connector, but usage has blurred in that respect. "component" refers to the fact that each cable carries a different component - video, left channel audio, and right channel audio. phono refers to the phono nature of each audio cable -- individually they don't carry a stereo signal. in common usage, people use all 3 terms interchangeable. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
