lol, NP. Maybe when you get home tonight, check your tv's connections and see if you have a DVI jack. If not, component is still good (you wouldn't notice the difference anyway unless you're screen is approaching the 50-inch mark). Either way, your dvds will look a little sharper with an upconverting player such as this than with a standard dvd player.
I think cables are the biggest ripoffs in the electronics industry. They charge you over $100 for a good dvd player...then another $60 for a frickin' cable! Of course the player doesn't come with one, so you're screwed, lol.
