can I use this to connect my blu ray player LG BP530 to my TV that only has S Video input? will this convertor be able to handle this?

I used my C&E; HDMI/S-video converter to provide the input connection for two DVD recorders and old VCR through an amplifier and it works very good. I would expect it to provide a very good S-video signal to your television.

Yes I am using one to do just that, sound seems a little quite but the picture is pretty good. I'm using a PS3 as my blu ray source

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. :)

This product will work with any product with a HDMI port/interface! Thus, if your tv has a HDMI input and the blu-Ray player has HDMI out, then it will work! However, this product is designed to allow muntiple HDMI compatible devices to share 1 HDMI port in a tv! Thus, unless you are planning to hook up more than just the blu-ray player to you tv, then there is no need for this product!

Hey Matt, this converter will NOT work for your needs as it only converts HDMI to VGA and not the other way around like in your case. Instead look for a VGA to HDMI converter

It may work, it did not do what I wanted it to do, I wanted to hook my blue ray player to my tv, the player had hdmi and the tv had component, the tv was 1080i but it did not matter newer products use the hdmi to communicate to the tv to help prevent copyrighters this prevented mine from working. However I'm not sure if It would work on what u are trying to do or not. I would say just try it, it's a cheap cable. Sorry I could not be any more help

no this is a simple switch, it does not convert anything. If you want S-video out, you need S-video in.

I believe so. I have not used it for this purpose, however. I simply needed to convert s-video to HDMI. The unit appeared to work, however I have changed my setup now and no longer use it.

I don't have neither. But it should work as with any other HDMI device. As this converter really supports full 1080p resolution (while cheaper converters e.g. need to negotiate the resolution down to 1024x768 pixels; and if the source device does not support such a down-negotiation, then it fails; but this better unit does not need that - it should work). My only concern would be the power supply, if the source device (like a TV stick) needs to get also powered by the converter. As this converter has a full and strong power adapter, I would assume this is not an issue. But I did not check this. And then, of course, you need the sound connection in addition to the s-video cable, but I am sure you know that, as s-video never transports sound information. A small switch lets you select the video out port (s-video or composite). So, long story short, yes, I am "pretty" sure that this should work for you.

To be brief - no this wont work well - on pretty much any tv. This converter only produces anaglyph 3d output, the one that requires the yellow and blue glasses. Yes you will get a 3d effect, but the image quality will be pretty bad, bordering unwatchable. I have tried this system twice, but failed to get any good result. I now run a 3d compatible projector system using a 3d blu ray player and a Viewsonic converter. This produces output for active 3d glasses. The 3d effect is great, the colour and quality is very good, the only negative is that the image is a bit dark. This is because I am using a relatively inexpensive projector.

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

That's what I tried to do. Apparently it depends on the blu-Ray player whether it works or not. I would check with the manufacturer. I have a Sony player.

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.

most certainly. the converter works excellently in converting hdmi output to high quality composite audio and video. I bought this to use hdmi output from a PlayStation 3 on a tv with only one hdmi input (which was in use by my sat tv box). So had to convert the PS3 hdmi output for use on the tv composite input connectors. Works great.Jackie Pendleton

Should be able to do it since it has a HDMI input. I'm using a component converter from my cable box as I have an older cable box that doesn't have HDMI output but I just went in and looked and it has the HDMI input as shown in the product description.

Yes, it will work, but you will need an alternate port on the Blu-ray player for audio (i.e. Optical audio output, or coaxial) because DVI doesn't carry audio through unlike HDMI does.

Yes it is compatible to hook up to surround sound. The LG BP540 has only one audio output. It's a coaxial or coax digital. It's best if you use a dedicated cable made for this, but a well shielded RCA cable can do in a pinch. The other way is pass through the HDMI from the player to the receiver and back out to the television, assuming your surround sound system has such input and output. Finally, there are no analog outputs on this player, and it must be said that this is standard for most blu-ray players. Supports up to 5.1 surround, maybe 7.1 but I don't have that kind of system.

It's designed to take input from HDMI and convert it to RCA, not the other way around. If you're trying to take RCA inputted from the home theater and convert it to HDMI to display on the TV I don't think this will work.
