Can I use this to connect an older VCR to my newer HDTV that doesn't have a yellow video-in port?

No. This is specifically for HDMI to RCA. Meaning a blu-Ray player to a TV that only has a Yellow Video in port and does not have an HDMI port.

No you can NOT. This converts HDMI to AV (yellow video port), not the other way around. They make a separate converter that does AV (yellow, red, and white VCR connections) to HDMI. That's what you would want if you are connecting a VCR to an HDTV. Just make sure it says "AV to HDMI" and not the other way around. This product works very well, I would assume their other converters work just as well.

Yes I am using this to play my older VHS on my new HDTV, and it works great.

I don't think you can - this is a VGA/HDMI connector/converter - even at that it did not work for my VGA Desktop Computer Monitor port to Smart TV HDMI.

As far as I know, no... This one goes the other way. This allows you to play old school video games through an hdmi tv. You would want to make sure that the input is hdmi and the output is red yellow white for what you are trying to do, but personally I would be concerned about video quality at that point...

That was exactly my situation. I had a VCR that only output composite video and stereo audio (Y- Video, White and Red - Left and Right Audio). You connect this device to the Y-W-R outputs from the VCR, then connect the HDMI cable between this device and your TV (or AV receiver). It's that simple. To power the device, you must also connect a USB cable to anything in your equipment rack that also has a USB port. Newer TVs and AV receivers have USB ports. You will need a USB cable that is long enough to reach your power source (I had to replace the one they sent me with one of my own) and of course the Y-W-R cable that connects between your VCR and the device, which you should already have assuming the VCR was previously connected to an older piece of equipment. It worked like a charm.

YEs - I checked the manual. Page 22 says there are inputs of red, yellow and white for VCR/DVD players.

Yes, you can use the Composite connection (standard definition) it's the Yellow, red/white cable. HDMI input for HiDef. Some older TVs may have HDMI, but don't support audio. You will need to research the model of your TV.

There is an adaptor available here on Amazon that works great. Here is the name of it: Etekcity® HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD. I have one and all you need is your HDMI cable and some RCA cable and you are ready to go.

You should be able to. I only had this for a short time. See the review below. I bought this used DVD/VCR on line through Amazon. When I received it and tried it out, I found that when I played a VCR tape back the picture bounced around and sometimes the horizontal went out of sync. I returned the DVD/VCR for a prompt full refund. I only had this device for a short time. See a copy of my review below.

If the computer has an RCA input (yellow/red/white), then you could. Another way to do it would be to get a D-VHS player ( JVC HMDH40000U D-VHS HDTV Digital Video Recorder ), connecting via HDMI to the computer, copying that way.

I am using it successfully to hook up an S-video microscope camera to my computer. I would not recommend it for a DVD/VCR it does not carry the audio signal. There are other ones that do.

if your older TV has the red green and blue outputs it should work. the red yellow and white will not work

Yes, you can do that very easily, just use audio cable (white and red) look at your manual page 24 for the more detail instructions, or look for white and red (audio out) on the back of your VCR and then AV5 in the back of your Yamaha, remember you can use video and audio (component) with this unit. My best

Yes, you can, I was very pleased, none of the stores had this or knew how to do it, but it makes the connection and works with older vga devices, when you have the newer HDMI ports. Very pleased. Jim Moore

Sorry, this device is only intended for converting a red-white-yellow (composite) signal to HDMI. An eariier answer to this question suggested you search using thr following term: HDMI2AV It might set you on a path to a solution.

Yes, if you feed your composite signal from your vcr to a device ( a dvd recorder or a audio/video receiver for example ) that has a component or hdmi output.

It connects to the television via the AV jacks. As long as your tv has the video input (yellow) it should work fine.
