Plugged my VCR into AV1 Input: Works fine. Tried plugging L/R audio output from cassette deck into AV2 and YPbPr1, 2 &amp; 3: No sound. Any ideas?

did you switch the input selector from AV1 to AV2 or YPbPr1? If you did and it does not work, it may be a defective device.

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video. I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

If this is the one labeled MINI AV2HDMI Upscaler 1080P, It might need up to 15 seconds to provide an output. I have no idea why. I have one connecting a JVC VCR to an LG led TV and when using the TV menu a select this as an input, it will take that long to provide a signal to the TV. It's on a dedicated receptacle and on all the time. If yours doesn't provide a signal after waiting that long, the unit may be defective.

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.

Update: I've just tried it with both Roxio and AVS and neither recognize the device as audio. Elgato software does not give you the option of recording strictly the audio portion. You could still create a video file through Elgato, then convert the video file to audio, then edit the sound properties in another program like Roxio. There are audio only devices and software available from Amazon for converting LPs and cassette tapes. I've even seen a cassette player pc device that plugs directly into your usb, although I'm not sure if it's still available. Your computer should already come with an "audio in" mini plug, when used with a mini-plug to RCA audio jacks "Y" cable connected to the cassette's audio out would work just as well. To use it with a turntable you would need a pre-amplifier, unless the turntable comes with one built-in, otherwise the sound would be way too low to use. Sorry about the first answer but I assumed it would work. There may be a video accessory that allows audio only but not the Elgato.

I hooked my and my mothers up and the color codes are the kay on my vcr player it is the white on top of the red in audio out and the yellow is in video out, then match to the color coded plugs on the tv on mine the yellow was above the tv cable and the white and red were in the slots for audio in--since mine is just a player, and only goes out to the tv, yours should be both audio in and out and video in and out-it is very easy, basically I just played with the cables and tv and it worked-good luck Judith- I know you can do it, kathleen

Thanks for the response A.L. I originally had everything hooked up with HDMI -- both my HD-DVR cable box and my upconvert DVD player. My first thought was maybe it was the cables themselves, as I bought less expensive ones off Amazon. Tonight I went out and bought top of the line HDMI cables from Best Buy. Same problem! Then I figured I'd take the HDMI cables out of the equation and test my iPod using the auxiliary RCA jack on the front of the receiver. Same problem!I'm positive the speakers are connected correctly and completely. And these are also brand new -- the Onkyo SKS-HT540 7.1ch home theater set!I think I have a bum receiver. I listen to my morning TV at level 60. That just doesn't seem right. Thanks for the response A.L.

I don't totally understand, but from how it sounds you mean a way to listen to the t.v. with headphones? I have a sampler, which is a musical device I use when I want to watch a movie late at night. you could do this with a cable from the vcr, which no one owns anymore, to a device. I would think if you had digital cable, you could do this. It's tricky if your t.v. doesn't have the stereo out jacks on the t.v. itself. this plug has been giving me troubles going from computer to stereo, the sound doesn't come through and I have to wiggle the cable, so it's been a bust for me.

I have the same problem! Did you get it worked out. If so HOW??? I wonder if my AV receiver is too old.

Hi Ken,Did you try it? Did it work? I want to run the Bluray player or TV HDMI sound out to RCA in to my stereo to get more sound out of my tv.Martha

Dear Sir, Does your DVD/BluRay have audio input RCA interface? If it has such interfaces, you can apply a RCA to 3.5mm adapter to make it work.

I tried rca to vga and it did not work. I didnt bother to send it back. Figured it was worthless!

I'm assuming that your TV has the usb and hmdi inputs. What are the output types for your VCR? If the output has only 3 connectors (yellow, white and red) it is composite and if there are 5 connectors in the output grouping it is component signal. Need to know this before giving an accurate answer.

I'm probably the one who suggested the VCR setup. I bought and installed an Onkyo 607 for my son-in-law and he gets analog cable without a box. The VCR is the only way to input the video signal through the Onkyo. I didn't like the VCR tuner so just used the TV's audio outs into the Onkyo's Tv input to get cable TV sound through the system.

I would like this answer also. I hooked my up to a toslink convertor an no sound came out of the sound bar. Any help?

I returned it the quality of sound was horrible. I just use the cassette adapter and get the best sound. Good luck

This device come with three RCA jacks- white, yellow, and red. You need to attach these connectors to your VCR via a separately purchased set of wires.. The wire is NOT included for this. Then the device itself plugs into a USB port.
