Hey,
I need to know what the connector on this wire is called.
I don't need the same of the whole wire, just that one peice.
It's the black end and plugs into the XHA1, not the component end.

Here's a pic:

It's commonly referred to as a D-Terminal.

Not sure, since that's a really small pic and it doesn't look like the same component cable supplied with the A1, but if you're talking about the A1's connection it's called a D4 connector.

I have a monitor that has the D-terminal connector on it... but not component inputs... So I am looking for a d terminal to d terminal wire.

...if you're talking about the A1's connection it's called a D4 connector.Actually I think it's a D5. If it were D4 it would carry only 720p, but a D5 carries 1080p, which is what the XH series moves over component.

[edit:] Okay, here's everything you need to know about that connector:

Except, I guess, where to buy... hmm.

Well, knowing what it's called is half the battle. Can't do an internet search on"well, it's a thingie about so wide with five pins and a couple RCA plugs on on the other end."

Chris, I was just going by what B&H had for the description of the cable.

I was looking at that picture posted the other day again and it's funny how one day you look at something & see it differently the nest time around. At first I didn't think that was the right component cable for the A1. It's the orientation of the connector that threw me the first time. Strange how the brain works :D

The monitor I have is in japanese, kinda like this - http://pic.srv6.wapedia.mobi/thumb/6cdb14382/en/fixed/230/266/D4_terminal.jpg?format=jpg,png,gif

Instead of D4, it says D2.

Can anyone find a link for a D2 wire?

If I plug the XH into a D2, will it receive the signal?

Is this the connector?
Cowon D2 EXT plug pinout and signals @ pinouts.ru (http://pinouts.ru/PortableDevices/cowon_d2_ext_pinout.shtml)

D2 supports only 480p resolution. It won't accept 1080p. However, you can set the XH A1
to downconvert to 480i over component video output, so this shouldn't be a problem.
