Default Component interconnects

Hello
We have indulged in a large HD flatscreen LED.
It has 3 x HDMI inputs and all will be occupied by Sky,
Blu Ray and Playstation.
The TV also has component inputs colored red, green
and blue.
We have an elderly and trusted Sony DVD player that
also has component connections.
The instruction booklet for the DVD player states
that 100hz progressive output is possible from these
connections and the LED TV instructions say the TV
is "capable" of 100hz progressive.
We would like to try it but are wary of expensive
component interconnects as we are just experimenting.
Is it OK to try with RCA audio interconnects of which we
have plenty and they appear to be identical fitments.
As long as we ensure the correct red green and blue
connections between DVD player and TV it will be OK?
TIA



Yes, but video signals are a lot more fussy than audio; cheap cables could
play havoc with picture quality - colour casts and the like.

Me? I'm a film fan and like a *big* picture - this 6 foot wide image (TV
recording 'Secret Mediterranean'):
