I have an analog tv - the hdmi has rca cable hookup - I have a new blu ray player and I have an older RCA converter box - will this cable help/work?

The rca converter box is probably not even needed. This cable is all you need.

I don't know, I threw my cable away because it shorted out my last lap top, which may have been my fault. I used the HDMI hook-up on my then lap top and used the VGA hook up to my TV and it killed my lap top, which would have been more to fix it then buying a new one. I do know, that HDMI is an output always.

Nope. Wish it would. If older reviews are still available there is one that suggests a very limited use for this cable. HDMI is a digital audio and video signal and needs a digital to analog conversion with synchronization of the audio to the video. A cable can't do that. It requires digital signal processing to do the conversion. The cheapest way to do that is buy a digital TV. There are converters, but they cost way more than the converter box to convert HDTV to NTSC analog.

It should work, all this device does is transfer the output signal from optical to analog RCA so it will not damage the cable box.

If it's an older digital TV and has HDMI connections, it should work. But not with an older analog. This device only connects through an HDMI cable.

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 cable will not work. You have to buy "HDMI to 3RCA Composite AV Mini Converter for TV/PC/PS3/Blue-Ray DVD 1080P". This unit works perfectly.

This converter box only allows RCA jacks on the input to go to HDMI output.You probably want some sort of VGA to HDMI converter.Search Amazon for this one QVS HVGA-AS VGA Video/Stereo Audio to HDMI Digital ConverterIt does sound and video.Just video converters are less expensive.Good luck!

This product is a cruel joke and a ripoff. You need a converter box to change an HDMI output to an analog signal, in order to have EITHER 1stGen HD red/green/blue (aka "YPbPr") OR non-HD red/white/yellow RCA connectors as inputs on the other end. It's not just a matter of having the right connectors on the ends of the cable. So there are basically three solutions to your specific problem, Letitia: 1) Get an HDMI-to-RCA (red/white/yellow) converter box for around $50-80. Make sure the product description says "digital-to-analog converter," otherwise you will likely get another ripoff item. (I found a KanexPro HDMI box for $60 that should work http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815820045&cm_re=hdmi_to_rca_converter-_-15-820-045-_-Product) 2) Put that money toward an HD TV (with HDMI inputs). Really, the purpose of the BluRay system is an HD-quality viewing experience. 3) Get a regular DVD player with RCA outputs. If you mostly rent videos and don't have a large collection of BluRay discs, and don't care all that much about HD, that's probably what I would do.

depending on how old the tv model is it's VGA port will require either a '15 pin' or a '9 pin' (the 15 pin VGA is for HD, the 9 pin VGA is the basic VGA). depending on which bluray player you have- if it has RCA ports on it you will be able to use the VGA to RCA cable. but there is '15 pin VGA to HDMI' cables that you can use; which in my opinion can be more useful as most electronics these days have HDMI ports on them. In my experiences using these cables i've never required a converter box, as well. i've only needed to use the cables, and they work just fine. in fact- for my "tv" i use a decent size flat screen computer monitor, with the "Gino 1.5M 4.9Ft VGA 15 Pin Male to 3 RCA RGB Male Video Cable Adapter" plugged into the VGA port on the monitor and the [3 male] RCA plugged into my HD Digital Cable Box...

This blu-ray disc player only uses hdmi cables....so if your tv does not have hdmi connections, then this device won't work...

PT, I wanted to convert a new HDMI Blu-Ray Player down to an old Component (YPbPr) television; this device would not do it. This unit converts old Component (YPbPr) video (or old computer VGA video) up to a new HDMI (or Coax) television or monitor. There is no Coax input (see closeups of the product) so I don't think this is a good product to go from Coax up to HDMI. The ramp up should be from Component to HDMI.

Ok, there is another kind of digital cable connection you can use if your tv has that... Otherwise, the unit should come with a rca y connection where you connect a red and white to your tv and the other end is one black rca cable that goes into the back of the unit on the far left side. If you do not have a rca Y connector than try to connect either the red or the white wire only to the back of the unit where it says analog in.. That means the unit only has a mono rca connection on the far left side of the unit where it says analog in.

No this will not work for you. The HDMI signal can't be converted to an RCA signal with out sometype of converter box and honestly I don't know if they make that type of converter.

this device will help you connect a newer device(vcr, dvd, blue ray, etc.) to an older tv. new devices don't have a coaxial output and older tvs don't have composite inputs. so if your tv has a coaxial input, this will work. it does downstep the resolution, so don't expect hd quality video.

This will decode digital audio from optical or coax, and output to 6 analog channels. If your blu ray player has optical audio output and and analog amplifier, this will work.

your Setup box would need to have composite or HDMI ouput, this you just connect it to one of the inputs of the Receiver, if you still use the old type of analog cable were you receive only a coaxial connection you would need a TV or VCR or Cable turner to pass signal from coaxial to a composite output.

Am assuming you have newer TVs with HDMI connections . . . Yes, go to Amazon and search for an RCA to HDMI converter. They run about $35.

This didn't work for me. I have a TV with a digital output and a sound bar with rca inputs and optical inputs. I ended up buying a digital to optical converter for twenty five bucks. It works good.
