NONE of these similar devices work. Read the reviews. Otherwise, I would have bought and kept one. I've bought and returned TWO...BOTH suck..STILL have not found one that has worked or, has been well reviewed, en masse.

No it will not work. I purchased this and this item EnjoyGadgets HDMI to VGA & Component YPbPr Video Converter Adapter, Support Audio, S/PDIF, 5 RCA. And the C&E; did not work I returned it but the EnjoyGadgets item will work for what you need. I am using it to connect my directv box to my Tv that no longer has functioning hdmi ports and I am using this item to hook up component cables to my tv and my ps3 has hdmi ports. Hope this helps.

This is to convert component video to HDMI via an HDMI cable. This will not work on a TV that has no HDMI inputs. The component video side is an input. Not an output. I originally got this to enable me to hook a Nintendo Wii to my Hi-Def television with component video cables. Hope this helps.

I just tried it and it works great. I used the HDMI output and that is what I used to connect it to my TV's HDMI input.

replacing and repairing HDMI connections can be expensive, however Amazon do sell a device the you can connect your HDMI output from blu-ray, DVD and HD BOX, to the projector VGA input. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JW6M2I/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 i bought this device and tested on my projector and it worked flawlessly.

I hooked it up on a older Blu Ray Dvd player that didn,t have wireless built in to it using one of its hdmi ports and connected to my wireless router and it works fine.

No. Most older TV's have a standard AV input (red, white and sometimes yellow), so this DVI to HDMI converter will not work. You are looking for an HDMI to AVI connector. Also, look out for converters that are AVI to HDMI... not necessarily the same thing. You are looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Composite-S-Video-Converter-DA-HDRC/dp/B009TC9T7K/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1

depend on what interface you have. If you have Hdmi on your blu-ray player, I am sure that It works well. Or you need to compare what interface they have for both devices. Good luck

I have a sony blu ray player (HDMI) and an older Phillips TV. This converter works using the S Video input on the TV and HDMI on the player. Came with cables too. :)

Yes, I purchased this to connect a BluRay player to my HDTV. The TV only has the component plugs while the player has the HDMI

I tried this cable with an older projection hdtv and had no luck. The difference was I was trying to connect my new dvd blu ray player, but still had no luck.

Does that also include the whole 1080p thing as well? Some blu ray players HDMI outs only display 1080i, if we have the 1080p tv will it automatically convert it and display it in full 1080p??

You can buy a HDMI to component cable or converter box, but it will probably not work with Sony's HDCP copy protection in place. Odds are you will need a new HDTV. While most recent HDTVs support HDMI, there are plenty of gamers who are using an older HDTV that came out right as HDMI was becoming a standard feature. These cables don't work with most content, Bluray or streaming devices.

I would assume so if you have an HDMI port on both. I have used it to connect computers and DVD players to TV, but I personally have not tried with blu-ray.

It will only work if your HDTV has a VGA input. I've never done this myself, but I'm assuming it would if the TV has VGA capabilities.

My "older" plasma TV doesn't have any HDMI input but it does have RGB (red, green, blue) component input. This device converts HDMI output from the source (digital receiver/DVD player, etc.) to RGB component output. I still have to use my existing RGB cable to feed the signal into the plasma TV. And, yes, you do have to use a separate cable for the audio part and in my case, it was an optical cable.

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

I'm sorry, I've only tried HDMI, but that works fine. Can you try that connection, just to your tv temporarily to verify everything is working?

I agree with all the other answers. One thing you need to ensure is that you have an analog audio output from your TV, so you can plug it into this bluetooth transmitter. A lot of newer HDTVs are only equipped with a digital audio out, which won't work with this device.
