Bought this to connect our chromecast to a tv without HDMI input. Not working, just getting a static screen. Any advice or should I return it? Thank

I'm not really sure but it could happens because Chromecast do not powered yours adapter. Try to power it from any available 5-Volt wall mount adapter (even you can use outlet charger from your cell phone) with mini USB cable connector. Check that it set-up NTSC output on converter. Regards.

i think you have it hooked up backward the rca cables go in and the hdmi gets hooked to tv don't know if it will work that way

That sounds unusual, have you tried another output device? The setup that I have for INPUTS are 1)laptop 2)apple tv 3)chromecast OUTPUT is a projector. AV cables are connected into a mixer. We haven't had any problems. I would suggest troubleshooting with different devices, because perhaps the problem won't be the matrix.

To the best of my knowledge HDMI cables should be backwards compatible, it'd be weird if it wasn't. Is everything else plugged in and connected properly, right TV input etc... Do you have any other HDMI cables to try out?

Yes it can work with a mini HDMI and standard HDMI cable to HDTV. It does work with Google Chromecast. Your on your own about the internet.

I plugged it into one of the HDMI inputs of my TV. I select that input for my tv and then have the tv tune in the stations. See the TV manual for instructions--but it's pretty obvious. I have chromecast plugged into another HDMI input.

Don't buy it. I did and it doesn't work. I then knew that it can never work because VGA is an analog sign and HDMI is digital so it is required a converter. I don't know why it is allowed to sell it. Save your money and try something like chromecast.

There shouldn't be any trouble connecting to the display through HDMI. Make sure all the settings on your computer are correct and the display mode is set to HDMI. If all else fails, you may have a faulty unit.

It should be a mirror screen but I couldn't get mine to work. I now just use Cast Screen to Chromecast and that works well.

I wish i could give you a comprehensive list but I can't, it works on both of my Samsung tv's try a couple different cables or a different hdmi input and check whatever your trying to cast from, laptop or Windows tablet check the settings on that side you can try rebooting your system with the dp cable in the host device I wish I could be more helpful but you need to provide more info.Good luck.

You have to buy a "ViewHD Premium HDMI to HDMI + Audio | Audio Extractor | Converter (SPDIF + RCA L/R)" or similar on, plug Google Chromecast to ViewHD's hdmi input and connect ViewHD's output to TV with hdmi cable; connect ViewHD's audio left/right to your amplifier. Very simple!

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

That's why I got it and you are supposed to be able to manually switch but the device did not work at all for me. It may work for you. The return policy is forgiving enough to try. I was trying to switch between chromecast, ps4 and xbox one.

First, let me wish you "good luck" setting this thing up correctly. I have been using it for a couple of years and I am still trying to understand the "features" vs settings per the manual. I do believe the default for HDMI connections is PCM. I have also found through the "Audio Parameter" screens that there is a "Fixed PCM" setting which can be set as on our off through the Audio Parameter screens. I would suggest turning that off and go from there. Again, good luck!

I couldn't get one to work on mine without the power adapter. Then again, I have yet to find a TV that would power any of my Chromecasts, so I have had to use the power adapter for all of them. I have tried (all relatively new (less than 3 years old) models: Samsung plasma, Sharp Aquos LED, Vizio LED, and W1070, and the Chromecast always needs the power adapter, so I think that their "Powered by the HDMI port" claim is a bit of a stretch for all but a very few models.

I purchased this unit and just didn't work on any of the 5 TV's I have throughout the house. I used various sources as the HDMI input as well. Immediately returned it. Not sure if the unit was defective or incompatible.
