The connections you are describing on your flat (plasma) screen are called 'component' video connections, and unless your RCA unit has the same type of output, you cannot go from (for example) Y-C or composite to component video unless you insert a piece of equipment between the two, normally called a scan converter or scalar. You need to match the type of video being output from your RCA unit to the correct input on your plasma e.g. composite to composite (lowest quality), Y-C (also called S-video) to Y-C, or component to component (highest quality of the three). Composite uses a single cable with RCA-type connectors, Y-C uses 2 cables with RCA-type connectors (better for longer runs), S-Video uses a single cable with 5-pin mini-din connectors, and component (depending on the type) can use 4 or 5 cables each with RCA connectors (although some manufacturers use waht are called BNC connectors). Hope this helps.
