How do you connect the MacBook Pro to a TV with HDMI?
What year MBP? The type of ports available vary. In most cases, you'll have a DVI port, a mini-DisplayPort, or an HDMI port. What inputs do you have available on your TV? Most modern TVs have HDMI.If you have HDMI on your MBP and your TV, get an HDMI cable and plug it in. Make sure your TV is set on its pixel-perfect mode with no zooming or clipping. Exactly how you do this varies by TV. This will handle audio and video.If you have DVI, get a cable that adapts that to whatever your TV has. You'll need to run audio separately, from the headphone jack. Every MBP for the last several years has had a special headphone jack with an optical output buried in the bottom of the port, and you can connect a special cable that adapts that to a standard SPDIF optical audio plug, which you might be able to connect to your TV. Otherwise, just use a standard stereo-mini-to-RCA audio cable and connect that.If you have mini-DisplayPort, you can get a mini-DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cable. Your MBP might send audio over its mDP port or might not -- check this link (About Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters) to see if yours is one that does. If it doesn't, you have the same options as you had with DVI.If your MBP is new enough, you can also mirror wirelessly via an AppleTV.
What are the red and yellow cables you plug into the TV and the Wii called?
I see some incorrect answers to this one.The entire cable is called an A/V cable (the A/V stands for audio video). Here are the individual parts:RCA plug: the connectors at the TV end. Yellow for video, Red for right audio, Black or white for left audio.Wire: Each plug is attached to a dual core wire, three in total. Each plug requires a positive and a negative charge.Proprietory connector: This is the plug at the Wii end. It is unique to the Wii and cannot be connected to other consoles.Done people have answered “component cable”. This is a slightly different cable, as it has 3 connectors for video signal alone, plus another two for left and right audio (so 5 in total). The cable you describe has only 3.

Do HDMI to RCA cables work?
Like every other question: it depends.HDMI is a purely digital signal, so there has to be an active signal converter to change from HDMI to the analog signalling for RCA. There’s a couple ways it won’t work.I’ll bet there are companies selling HDMI cables with RCA connectors soldered at one end. They’ll look nice and be cheap but won’t work at all.There are a number of companies selling HDMI to RCA converters that work great as long as the HDMI signal isn’t encrypted. However those are only useful for a small number of HDMI sources.There are HDMI to RCA converters that have the decryption built in. These will do what you want, but they probably have to embed the Macrovision copy protection into the analog signal (at least in the USA).There are also HDMI to RCA converters that decrypt the digital signal and put out a clean analog signal. These are probably mostly illegal in the US, Canada and Europe since they bypass any copy protection.
