How to Convert HDMI to RCA. We explain and demonstrate an adapter which will take an HDMI cable and convert it to an AV Composite Video and stereo audio signal.
Be careful watch what you buy because they come in 2 different forms!!!! I had to learn the hard way! 1-Comes as RCA Out to HDMI in and the other Comes RCA In to HDMI Out! Pay close attention to what you need! I tried to connect a Chromecast in my workshop and ended up buying 2 devices. I bought the RCA Input to HDMI Output, but needed HDMI Input to RCA Output! Great to the point video and explanation! Thanks! Definitely wish I would have seen this vid before buying the wrong device and getting upset when it didn't work.
You don't actually need the power on this adapter despite what the box says. I think that the usb port is left over from the design of the RCA to usb adapter. For anyone looking to buy this item, it works, however text is very hard to read.
I was watching fast and the furious . A dude was gaming it in his car before the race it made me laugh but now I’m going to throw my x box in my truck lol thanks for the video
Very informative that device shown here is exactly what I was thinking. Of. Easy to follow to...my idea of tech is the critters I gotta pull off my dog.
I just found out today that this exists. At the time I had not been able to connect this kind of component to a modern tv. I'm going to try it on my wii to see if it works
Hi there, great info! Is this the best way to connect a Denon amp (which does not have HDMI) + traditional speakers to a Samsung slim OneConnect box? Or is it better via an Optical Cable (analog ue to Digital converter)? Thanks!
I have the same converter and I have a 14 "Sony Trinitron CRT connected to my pc via HDMI, I use it for retro games, by default the device forces my TV to show 720p screens although I understand that technically it cannot with both the TV What I did was configure as the 2nd monitor with 640x480 resolution and it seems to be working fine, am I forcing something?
I also have a MINI AV2HDMI converter but mine has 720P / 1080P switches and not NTSC / PAL. I also have to get a power supply. I'm trying to connect a refurbished Toshiba DVD/ VCR recorder combo, but don't know if my MINI is a compatible adapter. I also don't understand why the PC HDMI input doesn't serve as a power source to begin with. Then, if I get it connected, do I need an app or video software to play tapes / discs.
I have that exact converter but in reverse. Came in the mail today. Hooked it up and went to the correct source and I get no signal. Can’t figure it out. Trying to get my Nintendo Gamecube to work on my 4K tv
so i want to connect a generic tft display with RCA input with my camera with hdmi output. wil that work with this device? cz all i can find is rca to hdmi and not the other way around or i am completely confused.. please someone help
You need an RCA to HDMI converter. Make sure it has RCA input and HDMI output. I connected my PS2 and VCR to my HDMI PC Monitor and worked well. Most of the converters have a switch that sets the output resolution 720p or 1080p I recommend for VCRs and gaming consoles the 720p resolution and for DVD Players the 1080p.
I need the opposite. I need to connect my TV, which only has HDMI outputs to an analog stereo, which only has RCA and 3.5mm inputs. Previously I connected my TV's 3.5mm headphone output (AKA: Variable Analog Audio Out) to my stereo's L/R 3.5mm inputs via a one to two cable. But new TV's don't have Variable Analog Audio Out jacks and the Digital to Analog Audio Converter I bought uses the TV's Digital Optical Audio output which doesn't seem to be working.
I have a question about HDMI2AV. I have a laptop with hdmi port and hdmi male to male cable, i also have a portable dvd player with av ports. What i want to know is, can i use this product to use my portable dvd player as a secondary monitor for my laptop?
Thanks for the video, I wish you would have taken it a step further and showed the converted picture on the TV. When looking at these online there are so many reviews that go both ways. Some says it works some say it doesn’t.
I just purchased one and it working. I plug white and red to tv and white and red to my amp. Then yellow in to tv. I was hoping that give video from cable box and sound from my amp but it didn't work. When I used remote switch over aux I get no signal. I think this wrong box for me any advice in what I need.
Hello and thank you for your informative and helpful easy to follow along videos. ... I NEED YOUR HELP!!! I'm wanting to hook up a roku player to my CRT TV ... I already have it set up with an adapter to my BLU RAY DVD PLAYER for movies and that's working fine... But can i also connect an older model ROKU player? ... Side note.. I Have been able to get the Roku player home screen up, however, I don't have the remote to it. (Which I believe there's an app for that that'll work or i can order one) but my question to you is, will i have to disconnect one to use the other? ... And... Don't Roku players need to connect to the internet for the channels??? Do you know how i could get a connection to the internet??? Would that be possible? ... Any help is greatly appreciated!
I want to use my DVD player with hdmi output as a CD player to connect to a vintage stereo receiver. Would this box be necessary or would I just need the hdmi to rca cord and plug it straight into receiver? Thanks!
I am trying to connect a Roku device to a Sunfire surround sound 5:1 receiver. The receiver is an older vintage model so it does not have HDMI connections. So, can I use this device to send the signal to my receiver and then send the video signal from receiver to the TV?
Have you heard of issues such as no sound coming out? And the picture is not bad but when it comes to reading menus the writing is very distorted not able to read?
Does it work the other way around if I want to plug an RCA cable into a TV that only has HDMI inputs? I want to plug my PS2 into my new smart TV, but it does not have an AV input, just HDMI.
I tried this yesterday using the Best Buy brand. I was using my súper NT from analogue. It did not looked good. Maybe a dumb question but do you think a original snes with original cables maybe look better than all this hdmi to rca process?
Wonderful explanation, thank you! I want to now if I can plug in my Namco old game joy stick to my PC, it only has yellow and white rca cables...is that possible?
I am using an old TEAC Audio/Video Surround Receiver (ag-v8520) which unfortunately has no HDMI connections. So what I am trying to do is connect my Sony Blu-ray Disc Player (BDP-S3700) to it so that I can watch video with sound from the Sony's USB Flash Drive input. I have been able to do this by connecting the Sony through the use of Coaxial Digital Cable to RCA Adapter into the receiver's DVD/Video 3 RCA connection. This has allowed me to watch and hear anything except 1080p in mkv format. Mp4 is no problem, nor is 720p mkv. So I am wondering if you know of anyway I might also be able to get 1080p in the mkv format? Thanking you in advance for all that you do to help us electronics dummies. :)
Nevermind. :) Sometimes I just don't think. All I have to do is change (rename) the extension from mkv to mp4 (they're basically the same container) and everything plays just fine.
Kindly guide me if it would be possible to get an audio output from a smart tv to a wired external sub-woofer sound system using this device?! Awaiting your reply. Thannk n regards.
I have a converter with the same exact settings, it looks very similar. For some reason, my TV will still not pick up any video signal from my PS4. I don’t know wby
I have the white one I hear sound through the analogs but it sounds faint. I use a analogs stereo adaptor other end is for 3.5 mm Jack . Will that. Work? Not using it for composite video. Just to pass HDMI audio from my Blu-ray player which only has HDMI out
i'm buying an old x box 360 slim from a bro friend... those 2 cable red yellow white might not hook up to my new monitor? i have an old tv that have those 3 holes in my tv?
I am in dither... I can get audio to my tv but not video ,with this set up I get a blue screen but no video from my dvd/vcr . Do i need to unplug the arc to the receiver for this to work? THANK YOU !
Your demo was to convert hdmi in to rca out. I want to convert rca in to hdmi out. How do you do this? I have cables to do it, but they don't work - no sound or vision.
Bro for my led tv no HDMI ARC OR no optical cable or no aux cable options not available bro just I have only normal hdmi port available is there any chance to connect my tv to 2.1soundBar
I am trying to OUTPUT a signal from an old Sony video Camera (RCA plugs) and play It's content INPUTING to a New (2021) LG OLED TV via the HDMI Cable port. The television does not have a A/V INPUT Port. i. e. reversing the process discussed in your UA-cam Video. Will this work??
I cant connect our samsung smart tv to LG xboom. I already use optical cable and hdmi and also bought that thing analog but still is not working. Can you help me? Thanks in advance. 😁
Hello, I bought Digitech composite adapter to connect PS4 to InFocus Screen Play 4805 projector, and I have already done what you did in this video. But my picture is only black and white! Why is this?? Help appreciated
If I'm converting RCA to HDMI, then when I turn on the TV, wouldn't I choose HDMI as my source? It sounds like you're saying at 3:40 that I should choose RCA as the input.....
Hi. I tried this convertor between my laserdisc player to a new Bravia TV but the TV would never recognize it. Any suggestions on what I could try? thx
Hi My Smart TV pop up a message - HDMI ERROR The HD content protection for your display has been compromised. Please use the YPbPr outputs for HD connection. My question. Do follow your procedure to fix this problem? You video was very good. Thank you
These don't always work. I tried my Sony DVD to 3 different TV's using hdmi to RCA connector adapter I tried one adapter from Amazon and one from Walmart and it doesn't work when setting TV's up to HDMI port. Old RCA cable works fine with two of the TV's, but new TV's now have only HDMI ports. Maybe some older dvd players are just not compatible using it's RCA ports. I have a coax( RCA like out) and a Svideo out on the dvd player.... maybe there's another work around.
When going from HDMI to RCA there is data loss because HDMI can transmits various types of data like HD Video, Surround sound etc. Where as in RCA only Video and stereo audio is available. So we wont be able to convert the signal the other way around as there not enough data.
Be careful watch what you buy because they come in 2 different forms!!!! I had to learn the hard way! 1-Comes as RCA Out to HDMI in and the other Comes RCA In to HDMI Out!

Yup, happened to me but still no audio out of my stereo...
Thank you for this information. You just saved me from buying the wrong one.
Thanks for the info dude!
Very simple and clear example
You don't actually need the power on this adapter despite what the box says. I think that the usb port is left over from the design of the RCA to usb adapter. For anyone looking to buy this item, it works, however text is very hard to read.
Thank you sir for your packaged information
thankyou i was struggling a bit
Thanks man!!👍🏼
I was watching fast and the furious . A dude was gaming it in his car before the race it made me laugh but now I’m going to throw my x box in my truck lol thanks for the video
Thank you! At last I can transmit my CCTV pictures to another room now that I understand how it all works and what to buy! Great!!
Can you use just the audio cables only if you want audio only? To connect to analog speakers?

Nice video informative
It would've been nice if you posted with video footage of it working. I bought a similar one but the video is blurred when I play the PS1 and PS2.
HDMI was the input and rca the output. Will it work correctly reversed?
What if you need to go the other way? New Smart TV with HDMI ports to a DVD/VHS player with only RCA connectors. Will it still work?
Thank you so much
I'm trying to connect my sub which has rca inputs and outputs to my tv that only has HDMI. Is this still possible with this gadget?

I need to connect an hdmi dvd player to a crt-tv. Will this device mantain the 4:3 aspect ratio? Any help would be appreciated!! Bye!!

so i want to connect a generic tft display with RCA input with my camera with hdmi output. wil that work with this device? cz all i can find is rca to hdmi and not the other way around or i am completely confused.. please someone help
Its the other way around I need to know about. TV is HDMI input, DVD and VCR are RCA composite output.
If you're only watching movies on it, go ahead and get a cheap upscaler box from amazon.
If you're wanting to game on it, I recommend the OSSC.
You need an RCA to HDMI converter. Make sure it has RCA input and HDMI output. I connected my PS2 and VCR to my HDMI PC Monitor and worked well. Most of the converters have a switch that sets the output resolution 720p or 1080p I recommend for VCRs and gaming consoles the 720p resolution and for DVD Players the 1080p.

Where do u find the mini HDMI box?
I added a Chromecast to my Android car stereo unit. I like it.
Thanks for the video, I wish you would have taken it a step further and showed the converted picture on the TV. When looking at these online there are so many reviews that go both ways. Some says it works some say it doesn’t.

Is it HDMI ARC capable when your t.v. doesn't have that feature?
Can I use that vice versa? Coz my TV doesnt have RCA and I need to connect it to my amplifier without HDMi?
