Differents composite and component?

Hello!

As I am new in surround system, I hope someone can help me.
What is the diffrents between composite and component, are composite one cable and component tree? (at least I know component is the best)please in an easy way, because I am not very technical. I have just bought a Monster m1000v silver cable with RCA ends, and I am wondering if I can use this in my Sony DVD(I want component)behind it is writing Component and under this tree RCA conecters called Y, Cb/b-y and Cr/r-y. Can I use my Monster m1000v and do I have to buy two more or what? Or maybe someone have to bee audio cables and not video?
Thanks

That was exactly what I needed to know, perfect.
I only wondering why my cable have a RCA connection and not a S-whs connection? Can I putt it in video out, it fits there?
Thanks again!

Hello Elizabeth!

Do I understand you correct, that I can buy two more Monster M1000V like this I have (Mine has RCA and not this round s-VHS connection) and it is as good as this three in one Component cable?
Thanks

Make sure your TV has a DVD component input for starters. The jacks are usually labled "Y" "CR" "CB" If you do not have these inputs on the back of your TV You will not be able to make a component input connection from your DVD player. If your TV has a yellow, red and white jack on it . That is not a component input. That is single ended video with stereo audio. Do you understand the diffrence? If your TV has the above mentioned jacks. Go back to the stereo store and buy a tri-cable. The sales man can help you. It looks like 3 of the ones you already have glued togeather

Or just get two more Monsters, matching the one you have and be careful to match up the inputs and the outputs (assumming your video display can accept a component video in, as others have mentioned.
