The Wii does not recognize this cable as component. If you bought these to get high-definition 480p video out of your Nintendo, these will make your games look like an old silent film instead. The Nintendo will not allow me to change the definition from 480i to 480p, it is silent and the picture is green and white. I've checked the cable for a switch to perhaps change it from standard to HD, but there is no such switch.I've connected the cables properly into the back of my HDTV and likewise into the back of the nintendo, but I cannot adjust the settings in the Wii menus to display in 480p. The cables are bunk and not worth your money. I am returning them right away and getting component cables that actually work.
