Does this require an HDTV, or can you use an old RCA connector?

It comes with the red yellow and white audio video cords. You should be able to buy or use a ps ps2 RCA connector with it.

I suggest buying a RCA to svideo adapter. What are your video input on the tv?

No HDMI needed. Just use composite(red,white,yellow)good quality or component (red,green, blue plus red,white audio ) better video quality, hookup.

You can either use a hdmi cable or us a composite cable and connect only the audio signal from tv to receiver

Am assuming you have newer TVs with HDMI connections . . . Yes, go to Amazon and search for an RCA to HDMI converter. They run about $35.

1) You can use the red and white (and yellow) RCA cables. 2) Should work all right.

Yes, although HDMI is the way to connect for best picture quality, you can use the "old" way with the Red Yellow and White plugged cable. Have had this machine for some time now and I am very pleased with it.

Can you hook this unit directly to an HDTV using an HDMI cable but with no receiver?

Sorry I did not hook up to HDTV. I am hooked up to a large screen tv but without HDMI cable. It works fine. Also hooked up to DVD and CD player without any problem.

Well the question is, what's an old tv? You need to use an HDMI cable. So if your tv doesn't support HDMI then the answer is no.

The RCA's are only input on the TV. The only audio output it has is a Digital Audio Output which is coaxal, so your receiver needs a digital audio coaxal input.

Video outs are either the RCA jack or via HDMI. If you have a newer monitor or tv with HDMI in, you should be gold. If you are needing the analog feed thru the RCA, you would need to consider whether your tv is PAL (EU,UK..) or NTSC (US). Adjustments can be made to the /boot/config.txt file, details can be obtained through searching the web.

Just be careful, some TVs don't have RCA outputs or headphone jacks. Then you need a digital to analogue converter (i think that would work, I am working on this problem myself.) Or I believe you can hook it straight to a cable box to avoid all that (with RCA cables.)

It has a coax connector, it isn't a digital converter though so you'll need a digital TV or a converter.

@Rusty Irons: Why do I need an RCA/3.5mm adapter? Does this thing not plug directly into the TV?

correct. and I am told that any regular old RCA cable will do. One other thing,though. I discovered that my TV's optical coax out is not always hot. It is not hot if the input is from a HDMI cable. That's a TV-specific issue. Might want to check yours to be sure. Have fun.
