Is using the optical jacks for audio and the "orange" coaxil for video still the best connection?
And I mean calling all cars, blackhawk down, mushroom cloud, Three Mile Island, lock the door behind you kind of mad.:mad:

The best connection for what?
The "orange" coaxial has not been the best connection for video in at least 10 years, maybe longer. There is S-video, component, and now HDMI. -

Ok, I am on the right path I am using component for the video and optical for the audio. Is HDMI better audio quality than the optical wires?And I mean calling all cars, blackhawk down, mushroom cloud, Three Mile Island, lock the door behind you kind of mad.:mad: -
HDMI can carry a higher bandwidth."He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you." Friedrich Nietzsche

The orange coax is not video, but audio.Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

If the you are only using a single orange lead for video, it's not component, it's composite.
I doubt HDMI has better audio quality, but it should be the same, and it also carries the video signal at the same time, which means you only need one cable.
You still didn't tell us what it is you are trying to connect. -
Yellow = Composite Video Input/Output.
Orange = Digital Coaxial, Audio Output/Input.
Unless you have a need for higher bandwidth, stick with the standard coaxial output for audio.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -
I'm not sure if HDMI is higher quality in format, but like Face said, it does carry higher bandwidth, thus can support a higher quality signal; ie. DolbyTrue HD.

I am using the digital optic (red light) cables for hook up from my Sony DVD to my Denon 803 AVR, and from my cable box to my AVR. That is for audio. Now what is the orange coaxial that is coupled with the optical hook up? I can use that instead of component? That would make it more simple right?And I mean calling all cars, blackhawk down, mushroom cloud, Three Mile Island, lock the door behind you kind of mad.:mad:

The orange coax is digital audio just like the optical you are currently using; same signal, different mode. You only need to use one of those (orange digital coax or digital optical) for your audio and you will be covered.
As far as video goes, here is usually the preferred order of picture quality: HDMI, component (red, blue, green coax), composite (yellow coax). Choose one of those are you will be covered on the video.
