For component theres 3 video cables, if i want to connect it to a tv with only yellow, red and white, which video cable do i connect?

If the tv only has yellow red and white. You need a composite cable. That tv does not support component. Yellow is video. White and red are stereo audio.

You cannot do what you are proposing. These cables are not interchangeable. You need a composite cable which only has red/white and yellow.

The yellow cable is for composite video. The red and white cables are RCA audio. Component cables are video only, thus you need to get some different cables. Sorry.

Technically speaking it’s the devices that need to be compatible-RCA cables are the same regardless of what color they are; if the device you’re coming from (the “source”) is outputting a component video signal, the three color spaces (Red, Green, Blue) are split across the cables, and if the TV only accepts a “Yellow” signal on it’s input (“Composite” video signal which combines the three colors on one cable) then you won’t be able to connect the devices to pass video. Basically what everyone else said above.
