2709W Only 4 connectors for component + No Audio In on the monitor ?

Question

Hello I am trying to connect my Wii to my 2709W, however I noticed that there are only 4 connectors for the component part. It is like if audio was in one cable ? My Wii component cable has 5 cables (2 for audio + the 3 component video). Is there any way for me to use this cable to connect to the monitor and get the sound working properly ? Do I need to buy a new cable with will have both audio 'merged' into a single cable ?   My second issue with this monitor is that since the DVI connection does not carry the audio I was thinking that there would be an audio in to transfer the audio to the monitor so I could plug my audio system on the audio output of the monitor and share it with my PS3, my Wii and my PC (the PC is using the DVI connection). Does that mean that I should buy a new audio system that allows multiple input sources ?

Hi BlueTrin,

For your first question, there are only 3 connections for the component cable. It corresponds to the blue, red, and green connections. The yellow is for a separate input, the composite video input. To connect the remaining audio plugs (white and red), if you would want to connect it to a PC speaker system, you would get this cable. --> http://snpi.dell.com/sna/images/products/mlrg/A1710512.jpg

Hope this helps,

That answer my question but what's the reference for this cable ? I was browsing dell.co.uk (I live in the UK) and could not find this cable in the monitor accessories section.

Thanks very much for your reply.
