Can I use this to run composite out from my DVD player to HDMI in on my receiver?

No. This cable ONLY works for devices which SPECIFICALLY say they support HDMI-to-Component (or Analog via HDMI), which is a very tiny handful of devices on the market. It does not work for standard HDMI ports. The reason for this is because you are taking a purely digital signal and passing it through a cable to an analog input. One or both of the devices needs to convert the signal from digital to analog. This cable does NOT do it for you. It doesn't matter if you're going from component to HDMI, or HDMI to component, this cable will not work for you unless your device is specifically designed to do the conversion from digital to analog via HDMI.

these guys have a pretty good explanation that unfortunately doesn't help those who already purchased this, but maybe will help others. http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/component-to-hdmi-cable.htm

I use my blue ray player but there are hdmi cables on the back (2) so I don't know why not unless you fill those connections up.

You need to hook an optical cable from the receiver to the TV. Then your Wii, Cable box, or any audio that runs through the TV will also run through the receiver. The HDMI is input only, not output for audio. Good Luck.

Yes, just run it to your receiver and use the receiver to TV's to connection to your TV's.

I know of no reason why not - once the Data Stream has been converted from Digital [HDMI] with the Video and Audio information separated to Analog Composite [aka RCA], the receiving equipment will not know the difference between this converted signal and any other [normally] generated RCA information.

You will have to "assign" the component being used as a component input (explained in the manual). It will do component and analog, like your older dvd player, cd player, ect. No s-video. It will play it through the hdmi, but the receiver will not convert the signal to hd.

I use the 'HDMI' instead of the 'VGA' output. Since that connection is available on the receiver unit, I would have to guess it will probably work, as you require.

It depends. If your satellite box outputs to Component video (i.e. five colored plugs), you're pretty much good to go. If it's standard-definition Composite video (three plugs), then you might need to find an adapter for it, as this card doesn't include one. HDMI connections might work as well, but be aware that this card does not comply with High-Definition Content Protection (HDCP) standards, so if your receiver box requires HDCP, then you will not get a signal via HDMI cable on this card.

It's for component video but I'm pretty sure you could use the "digital" rca jack for composite input and composite output. Here's a shot of the back:http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61t5olS9zHL._SL1200_.jpg

That's probably not going to work since there is only one output source for the speakers - and those are for the speaker wires. the coax, component video, and optical cable are all inputs, only one hdmi output to connnect to your tv, the rest of the hdmi are all input from your other devices as well. do some search you may find a coax output for speakers, but it may be difficult because a lot of newer receivers are either hdmi, optical, component video and even bluetooth.

I have a receiver that runs all sound. Use the outs on your tv (not the HDMI which carries sound and video) and run the audio into your receiver and the video to the projector. I use RCA cables that come out of my xbox and a Dvi to VGA that comes out of my laptop. You can use the RCA video out of your DVD player and there should be some kind of audio out on your direct tv box. There are multiple source inputs on the projector which are easy to switch using the source button on the projector receiver. You might need some adaptors.

the input of this device is composite and the output is HDMI, you are looking for the hdmi to composite or hdmi to svideo this is not the right device for you

I used standard composite cables to hook into my surround sound unit. HDMI cable will work also

Yes, you can use the Composite connection (standard definition) it's the Yellow, red/white cable. HDMI input for HiDef. Some older TVs may have HDMI, but don't support audio. You will need to research the model of your TV.

Great question, I honestly don't know.Basically, you're saying you have some composite devices (instead of component devices). Unless you're going to use it strictly for composite devices, I'm not sure how it would work. Meaning, you'd have to hook it up to your TV to where you're using only a red/white (audio) and yellow (video) cable.

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.

The only thing that might work is an HDMI to Component video adaptor. I don't know how it will handle the quick HDMI switching of the receiver but it's worth a shot. http://www.amazon.com/Kanex-Pro-HDRGBRL-Component-Converter/dp/B00BW0XXZ6/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1386520179&sr;=1-1&keywords;=hdmi+to+component+converter
