im doing 480p without using them, just the red yellow and white cables. CrackThaRipper
Um, are you positive? I'm pretty sure that 480p is not capable unless you're using a component cable or some kind of digital cable (VGA, DVI, HDMI). Anyway in the event that you have discovered a magic TV that accepts a progressive signal with composite cables then the component inputs are their just because they offer better picture quality than composite or S-Video. And who knows I might be wrong but i've never had or seen a TV (especially an SD tube TV) that accepts 480p through composite or S-Video.

On the side of the cable, where it connects to the 360 you need to set the switch to TV. You have a 480i TV! It just can accept component cables.
if an SDTV is capable of displaying 480p, then what is the criteria for a TV to be considered HD? I thought a non-HDTV capable of displaying 480p is an EDTV. But is there a SDTV capable of 480p? All SDTVs should only be 'i'.

That's basically correct, but EDTV is a lesser known term relative to HDTV. Originally 480p sets were merely referred to as "progressive scan" tvs before all these subcategories came out, but the current term for a 480p set -is- EDTV.
