Will it connect and operate properly from a Samsung DVD player w/HDMI output and an older (25 yr.) Sony TV with component (RCA) inputs?

We used it with a 2005 RCA 60" Flatscreen TV & a Samsung blu ray player. It went from the RCA inputs to the box & from the box to the HDMI cable. I hope this helps.

The unit worked OK with the RCA video and audio outputs tied to an analog DVR input. It also has S-video jack for better quality when you need it. The converter worked well.

This device does not have component (RGB) outputs. The video outs are composite (yellow connector) and s-video (mini DIN). If your TV has a single rca connector for video input, or the newer s-video input, this device will work for you.

I compared 3 units, including this one, they all work. But the unit from J&R did a better job, better quality image. http://www.amazon.com/ViewHD-Universal-Composite-S-Video-Converter/dp/B00AQ4HF7G

it connects perfectly,unfortunately it did not work properly,intermittently at best. i solved my problem which seems similar to yours by purchasing the two obsolete dvd players below,either one will work and you can find them on amazon for about the same price as a convertor.they have both HDMI and component (RCA) outputsLG BD530 1080p Network Blu-ray Disc Player orLG BP220 2D Blu-Ray Player with Smart TV (Black)

Paul - what do you mean by "receiver" - I would be connecting the DVD player directly to my Samsung LCD TV (Samsung LNS3251D 32" LCD HDTV) using the 2nd HDMI input. Am I good ?Also I found this comment about my Samsung: its HDMI connections still support version 1.0 and I cannot connect my Toshiba DVD player which supports Ver1.1 HDMI specs - Is this a problem if I get the A20? Thanks in advance....jon battle

I connected a new blue-ray player to and old TV that only had component conections and it worked fine. Beware sound requires a separate cable

Absolutely. I have an old TV as well and it hooked up beautifully. The only issue was I had to unplug my DVD player in order to plug it in but that's no big problem.

Hi, connecting this to a Sony Receiver and then to a Samsung TV will not work since this Sony 4K Media Player FMP-X1 works only on compatible Sony Bravia 4K TV. Passing through 4K is not supported. -Ely

If your DVD has an optical Toslink audio output and your TV has a digital coax audio input, then yes, this is the proper device.However, if you're talking about connecting a DVD player for both audio/video to a standard coax cable/antenna input, then no, this is the wrong device. To do that...If your DVD player has composite output (red/white/yellow plugset), use Audiovox part # CRF907RIf your DVD player has component (red/white/red/green/blue) or HDMI, you probably should return the DVD player and find one that supports composite video, or you should probably replace the TV.

Yes. I have an old TV with just one RCA port, so I use it to switch between TV, DVD player and Roku player. It works, but it's definitely not heavy duty. If it's just going to sit in one spot and be handled gently, it should work fine. A great value for the price.

This will work as long the Samsung has a DVI input connection. This is not a VGA connector, it only works with DVI not VGA.

It worked for me using the optical TV source converting it into simple RCA analog left & right cables. -- Wish I could give your mine, having sold my all but this :-)

I am not sure. I tried it on an old TV with RCA inputs and it did not work.

The DVP5982 targets new TVs that accept 1080i/1080p over HDMI. Although it has component outputs for HD TVs sold in the last few years, it does not offer outputs for older TVs, e.g., S-video or RCA video. For my older TV, I have used the DVP5140 connected over RCA video/separate audio. Even that DVD player did not offer a coax/antenna connection to work with a really older TV. Philips conveniently makes their manuals available online on their support site, so you can compare the connections available on each of these models with your TV to see what works for you.

I have a dvd vcr player combo and it only had the standard rca connections. I hooked it up and it worked great. Even with a hdmi coupler between hdmi cables. I switched between the 720 and 1080 settings but couldn't tell a big difference but they both worked. It's definitely worth a shot.

It should as with any other... your TV needs to have either RCA out puts (red, yellow, white) or an optical out put (square looking plug) and those should output anything thats on the TV to the surround system. The HDMI hook up is for watching DVD's in the drive from the surround sound system, and thats why the sounds is from the DVD's only.

It should. I have cables inputting signals from my TV and from a Compact Disc Player and the output cable connected to my Receiver. This set up works for me.

Component connections to samsung HDTV did not work for me. No response yet from Philips as to why.

I would venture to guess "No" unless you have an HDMI output on that older model RCA TV, which is possible as HDMI has been around a while mostly for computer monitor higher resolution connections. Can you take a pic of the back and post it somewhere and put the link in here (I doubt you can attach photo's here directly). A quick glance at the back in/out panel will tell me if this is possible or not.

It will most likely work. I have 6 Samsung TV's and several Samsung DVD/Bluray players. None of them are the same model. We are able to use all of the remotes interchangeably.
