Will this cable work for connecting my DVD player (RCA outlets only) to my new HD TV through the HDMI port?

This is exactly why I purchased this cable. It did not work! Glad I didn't pay too much for this cable. Good luck..

The product description is clear: These are not signal converter cables; these are to be used with devices that have built-in converters.

This cable is designed to connect in the opposite direction that you describe. It's meant to connect an HDMI device (ie bluray player) to non HDMI dispay (ie 1st generation HD tv). The receiving display (tv or monitor) must be digital, not analog. Most first and many second generation HDTV's (ie projection type) did not have HDMI inputs. This cable fills that need.

Hi there, I found out that all these cables are useless! Only the converter device worked for me! Of course I have not checked them with every equipments, but I wasted money on five or six different cables, and none of them actually worked for any degree of satisfaction! And I was too lasy to return them, mainly because I lost the track of them when I bought them and what was the name of the cable!

I only tested it to connect my laptop to a computer monitor with a display port. I am not sure if your HDTV has such a port. It probably has a HDMI port for which you need a different cable. In any case the cable quit working only after a few months. I have thrown it away.

It should. Most HDMI ports are built for that much like the R/W/Y and R/G/B cord sets. It is designed to be that way. Yes, it will work. I have tested it on a 42" HDTV and the sound comes right through.

This item will only switch coaxial cable. Like a cable TV cable with the center wire and outside shield. So it will not work with the RCA or HDMI.

As a cable connection it will certainly work electrically, same as if you were connecting HDMI to HDMI, which I did to extend the reach of my cables. This connector has female ports on both sides. Main issue is that you are converting a digital signal to analog, and the resulting VGA picture will not be as good as HDMI to a new Hi-Def TV.

I Doubt it. I purchased an hdmi cable to connect my dvd player to my tv. Mine is different from the one pictured. Mine is just a plain hdmi cable.

No you need to buy an RCA to HDMI converter. And that cable is useless they shouldn't even be selling it.

No, it just depends on what type of connections you're using. If you're using HDMI like you should be then it will work just fine.

I cannot answer the question directly. What I can say is that I had a display port adapter that I plugged the hdmi cable into in order to connect to my TV. This cord alone suffices for that purpose. It requires no additional adapters. If display port adapter plus hdmi works, then this should work. All I know is that this cord alone makes audio and video work on tv.

if you are trying to convert from VGA to rca (red, white, yellow connectors) or s-video it might work. I had problems with my cord and had to get a refund

This works to hook up a dvd player to an older TV that only has the cable connection and no red, yellow, and white A/V connection. This doesn't have an Hdmi port.

I have used this cable to go from an hdmi source to a dvi monitor. I am currently using it from a dvi source to an hdmi screen. It basically just has the pin out mapped to work either direction. If you have a dvi connection on one end and an hdmi on the other it should work. In my case it even carries sound!

I'm going to purchasing this adapter to convert from RCA to HDMI for a Wii. I'm hoping it works.However, I did come across and adapter that was HDMI to RCA (the other way around). I noticed the difference in input to output of the two different adapters. You might want to check that the input and output are in the right order for the right adapter.

it will not work if your tv isnt HD. This cord is for systems that has HDMI port to connect to a HD TV that doesnt have HDMI port in the back of the system. does not work for old tvs lets just say it like that. and its also good for DVD player to connect to HD TV when dvd player doesnt have HDMI port. hope that helps.

No. It is an AV cable for a dual screen portable DVD player. It connects the primary screen (meaning the one that acutally has the components to play the DVD) to the secondary screen; allowing for video and sound.

I don't know. I just have it to connect a new home theater receiver with HDMI to an older HDTV with only component input.

This adapter can only use from RCA input to HDMI output not other way, you must buy the other one, HDMI input to RCA output.
