Remember kids, this is NOT an upscaler (i think), it doesnt make your video crispier and more better looking, it just converts the signal so you can use it with HDMI, if you want to get an upscaler, try finding something like a Framemeister or something idk (i dont use upscalers)
Nice video. I'm trying to hook up a phono preamp to my sound bar using HDMI. Can I use the RCA output of the preamp to go into the RCA input for this device for the sound only, Red and White cables?

Hey there! I got a new LD non-smart TV that seems to hate both my VCRs. Tried to connect them through composite, those wires were tested on my DVD just before testing them on both VCRs and the TV wouldn't get any signal from any of my VCRs even through both my VCRs and this new TV have composite connections. Because the composite connection works just fine on my DVD player and both VCRs had the same answer, I figured out this TV might not hate these VCRs. I bought an SCART-HDMI converter which solved the problem and my VCR is finally playable on this new TV. I had smart TVs before since 2017 but I never had this problem with my VCR. For those who want to criticise me for keeping them, I have 50 or more old VHS tapes that I grew up with and for NO reason I would throw them away!

Bro, i also need a similar device but to be precise, i want a converter which converts 3*3.5mm to hdmi. I want analog 5.1 connected to my home theater which has only HDMI(ARC) input. But i couldn't find any. Plz give me a link atleast of this kind of product. I don't know whether this kind of product exist in the market or not.

GREAT video!!! Thank you. I setup my DVD/VHS combo to my new Smart TV just as you mentioned & it works perfectly., but the picture is not clear as I would like. How can I make the picture clearer?
RCA/composite video is a bad signal to begin with. Does the DVD player have any other video outputs? S-video (singular DIN style connector) is better than RCA/composite video, and Component video (5 plugs, green, blue, red, white, red) is even better. Getting a better converter type could help to improve the picture quality.
@@shotgunmasterQL Bro...I have the same issue ...but perhaps, that's the best we can get for upscaling a VHS Tech to 1080p...the Audio is crystal clear but the Video is not that to the mark on the Converter
I've never owned a DVR but I'm assuming it still would. The DVR is what has the content, which means it should do its own thing as usual, and the RCA cables will simply continue to output the Audio/Video signals as usual, except along the way to your tv, they'll be converted to a digital format to make they're way to your tv via an HDMI cable.
I have the converter, I have the RCA cables, my audio works, but no video (the screen turns blue). I'm trying to connect my old Xbox (the original one) and the audio is perfect. I just don't get why the video won't show up???
Correct. Just like the one I mentioned to NOT get in this video lol. Here's a link to what you would need - amzn.to/3n6Qwm5 (DIGITAL to ANALOG video converter: HDMI to AV/rca)
I have an expensive Harmon Kardon home theatre system that I bought in the 90s, it matched well with my 300lb 32inch Sony Wega TV as they both had a few dozen RCA and S-Video connections.

question about the converter box. I noticed there are a lot of MINI AV2HDMI boxes sold with no power supply plug. It makes sense they should be plugged in for more power to convert signal. So then what are these used for?

Thank you . Regards
Hi Minerva. so as long as your dongle connects via HDMI and if your tv has RCA ports Red, White, Yellow - then what you'll need is the opposite converter. An HDMI to AV converter. Here's a link to one: amzn.to/3I91Klg

Thanks so much for this video! That was valuable to know about the types of converters. I got 3 and one of them is, even though HDMI output, only with an USB power cable, not power adaptor which is kind of odd. All 3 do have HDMI output so that is good. All seem to have different functions and one of them is perfect for what you were showing and what I will be using for gaming on an old console. Thanks again :) legend!
You helped me alot, thank you.Sucks that these dvd players don't just come with a convertor. Since knowingly these new TV's can't just hook up to a Rcv wire.They just want to make things more annoying.
How was the quality of the screen once converted? I bought a 14 dollar one on Amazon and I tried my ps2 with it and the image was darker and a little more blurry than it should have been. Playing original battlefront 1 was almost impossible with how bad it was with that game. Was this converter giving good quality results (making the video look the way it should)?
Hey Glue Man. I’ll be making a video to analyze the results. For now my belief is that if the tv is bigger - then the imperfections will be more noticeable.
@@SimpleCafeE okay cool thanks! Just to let you know. I ended up buying the Best Buy insignia converter that was 60 (got on sale for 40) and it works perfectly! The other cheap converter was either broken and not working properly or just cheap.

Hi there, Thanks for your videos which are really great - but it's not working for me - what am I doing wrong? I have a Samsung 2021 with a converter HDMI to RCA external "traditional" speakers to get the TV sound out of the speakers -- it's not working, can you help? thank you!
Hi Andrée, are you trying to connect your tv to external speakers? If so, can you tell me the ports/connectors it has? It sounds like maybe you're trying use an HDMI port but that won't work unless the port says ARC.
@@SimpleCafeE hi there, thanks for getting back to me. I plugged and HDMI cable into the eARC port of the samsung smart box - and that HDMI into an RCA converter - those males plugs into the speaker plugs of the amp.

I was thinking of trying a bluetooth thingy on the amp, and connect that way? thank you very much for your help!
there is this thing called “wii2hdmi” i wanna play my wii again, with my newer model of tv. however i don’t know if i should get the converter or the “wii2hdmi”

So I bought an original Playstation and it came with a plug that looks like a coaxial cable and it was kinda mashed so I thought that was why it wasn't getting recognized so I ordered a cable that fits the Playstation and has an hdmi end for the TV still isn't getting recognized....

Thanks for the video! But can you help me convert audio from old tv to my soundbar? The soundbar has optical port and hdmi arc port. But my tv only has rca and hdmi (not hdmi arc) ports. How to convert audio from my tv to the soundbar?
Hello Aditya, I hope your tv’s rca ports say OUT. If they do, check out this video (ruclips.net/video/0s0YlNHWD2I/видео.html) if not, this video would be the next best thing (ruclips.net/video/0s0YlNHWD2I/видео.html)
have the converter and it would be simple except for one thing. The outputs on DVD are green, blue and and red, but rca cable leads to the converter are different-yellow, white and red-which do you plug into which
you can but at the end of the day, the signal will be put out in much lower resolution and like the Dolphin Player, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you don't mind wasting money and are just curious about what it looks like.
Have been using this Converter for last two years by connecting my VCR to 43" LED TV......but does it really upscale to 720p or 1080p as denoted by the selector switch on the Converter, for a VCR? I actually don't see any difference after selecting to 1080p..Both the Audio & Video output are okay but not to the quality of the Framemeister Upscaler
I haven’t done any tests as I don’t have one which supposedly upscales. I’m skeptical but when I research it I will make a video. Thanks for your input, Prakash!

Question, I have an LG WebOS TV and when I connect the RCA cables to the adapter it displays a blue screen. If I leave it plugged in for a bit the screen, then becomes distorted going in between its distortion and blue screen. Is there a way to resolve it? I have the same adapter as the one in the video, I'm using it to connect to my N64 and PS1 and I've tried different HDMI cables as well as changing its port.
I need help using an adapter like this with my new LG tv. Everything’s connected like you said and it still doesn’t detect any input. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Honestly RCA was great in my opinion ,you always had one spare somewere in the house and they never come loose and even when you pull them out its a tight seal connection ,now days hdmi wiggle about and brake the hdmi port after time 🤔 im here because my ps2 doesnt fir my tv ports obv 😂
RCA to HDMI is correct however I can't say if you'll be happ with the resultsi if you're expecting 4K resolution. rca is only about 680 pixels while your tv is going to be displaying more than 4x that. just a word of caution. See if you can use this instead as it may produce better results: amzn.to/3FWcpi2

Hey Glue Man. I’ll be making a video to analyze the results. For now my belief is that if the tv is bigger - then the imperfections will be more noticeable.
@@SimpleCafeE okay cool thanks! Just to let you know. I ended up buying the Best Buy insignia converter that was 60 (got on sale for 40) and it works perfectly! The other cheap converter was either broken and not working properly or just cheap.
@@glueman7761 great! and yea sometimes going cheap doesn't work out.
Hi, ive been looking for a good video that can explain me how to connect coaxial in an adaptor, and this video is the answer, its awesome!,,
but i have 1 question, the spdif port in my tv is coaxial, i was wondering if i can use the yellow RCA cable (the video RCA) or should i buy another coaxial cable?? please help me.. thank you
You will need a coaxial one. But check out this video to learn more about coaxial ruclips.net/video/ERN6RLRB6yA/видео.html and good luck!
You know some older DVD players have component or RGB cable so you can plug straight to most TVs
Yup so long as those TVs have component
WOW THANK YOU SM THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!!
Thanks as I have a older VCR and my tv just went out so I wondered how to use my VCR.
Thanks for this i already have a-lot of old rca and hdmi cables plus i don’t want to ask my parents to buy extra junk
How do it work out?
Thank you for this great video. Could you tell me if I connect a VCR this way will I be able to set up the VCR to record while I'm away?
are you trying to record hdmi using your vcr? if so then you need hdmi2av converter
@@gamecubeplayer Thank you for your reply. also thank you for telling me about the converter. What I'm trying to find out is if I can program the VCR so it turns on by itself when the program starts, and turn off by itself when the program ends.
@@Leotron6 what program starts & ends?
@@gamecubeplayer By program I mean, lets say Law and Order starts at 7:00 pm and ends at 8:00. Can I program the VCR with this hook up to start at 7:00 and turn off at 8:00 by itself while I'm away. The way VCR were intended to be used in the old days.
@@Leotron6 if you still have analog broadcasts in your area then yes but you need to check your vcr's manual for instructions
Simple and down to earth video good.
Glad you liked!
Hi there, Thanks for your videos which are really great - but it's not working for me - what am I doing wrong? I have a Samsung 2021 with a converter HDMI to RCA external "traditional" speakers to get the TV sound out of the speakers -- it's not working, can you help? thank you!
Hi Andrée, are you trying to connect your tv to external speakers? If so, can you tell me the ports/connectors it has? It sounds like maybe you're trying use an HDMI port but that won't work unless the port says ARC.
@@SimpleCafeE hi there, thanks for getting back to me. I plugged and HDMI cable into the eARC port of the samsung smart box - and that HDMI into an RCA converter - those males plugs into the speaker plugs of the amp. I called Samsung and they said the TV not compatible?! I don't see on any menu an HDMI choice for sound output. I was thinking of trying a bluetooth thingy on the amp, and connect that way? thank you very much for your help!
there is this thing called “wii2hdmi” i wanna play my wii again, with my newer model of tv. however i don’t know if i should get the converter or the “wii2hdmi”
Does the wii2 HDMI only connect to a wii? If so, I wouldn’t get it because you’ll be limited to using it with the wii only as opposed to these which you can use with other devices.
@@SimpleCafeE yes it’s only for the wii as of what i know, but i only need it for the wii
Ok I can understand you feeling more comfortable with that, so go for it 😎
Does it work well with game consoles? Xbox, atari, ps2 etc. ??
I verified it with a SNES. Here’s the video for that..
ruclips.net/video/0ozQlUjEtZs/видео.html
@@SimpleCafeE thanks man!
What about PS1 I tired and it doesn’t work on my console unless I’m doing something wrong
Did you already have an RCA cable? Is it double sided? Like both ends of the cable are male?
Yea the rca cable in this video are male on both ends.
I have a pyle PDA7BU home theater amplifier Auto receiver sound system and I hooked speakers up to but it doesn't have any HDMI or optional hookup on it but my tv does. What would I need to be able to watch TV and be able to use my receiver that has the speakers on it to get better sound??

good infor, where can i get this part. RCA To HDMI cable??? plss....
They're hard to find in person so you can look online in your electronic sites.
So I bought an original Playstation and it came with a plug that looks like a coaxial cable and it was kinda mashed so I thought that was why it wasn't getting recognized so I ordered a cable that fits the Playstation and has an hdmi end for the TV still isn't getting recognized.... Do you think that cable is garbage? Do I have to have the converter?
Thanks for the video! But can you help me convert audio from old tv to my soundbar? The soundbar has optical port and hdmi arc port. But my tv only has rca and hdmi (not hdmi arc) ports. How to convert audio from my tv to the soundbar?
Hello Aditya, I hope your tv’s rca ports say OUT. If they do, check out this video (ruclips.net/video/0s0YlNHWD2I/видео.html) if not, this video would be the next best thing (ruclips.net/video/0s0YlNHWD2I/видео.html)
have the converter and it would be simple except for one thing. The outputs on DVD are green, blue and and red, but rca cable leads to the converter are different-yellow, white and red-which do you plug into which
Thank you. This was very helpful.
can you use this the other way around? i have a jvc tv with no hdmi ports and i want to play my ps4 on it?
no and you should never play ps4 on standard definition because the text becomes unreadable
@@gamecubeplayer okay thanks man
you can but at the end of the day, the signal will be put out in much lower resolution and like the Dolphin Player, I wouldn't recommend it, unless you don't mind wasting money and are just curious about what it looks like.
Have been using this Converter for last two years by connecting my VCR to 43" LED TV......but does it really upscale to 720p or 1080p as denoted by the selector switch on the Converter, for a VCR? I actually don't see any difference after selecting to 1080p..Both the Audio & Video output are okay but not to the quality of the Framemeister Upscaler
I haven’t done any tests as I don’t have one which supposedly upscales. I’m skeptical but when I research it I will make a video. Thanks for your input, Prakash!
Hi. I would like to know how l will connect a satelite receiver to my 40 years old Sansui Amplifier. Thank you
How to buy an hdmi converter? thanks tips
Go to a store that sells a lot of TVs. That would be your best bet. Otherwise just look online. Here’s a link if you need one amzn.to/2RNSiKS

I need to do this for an older Sony digital camcorder ( can I ? ) to view and audit tapes before sending them out to be changed to memory flash drives to keep for my children in the future
Does this work if i have a receiver and i want to connect it to a smart TV?
Perfect I needed this man !
Question, I have an LG WebOS TV and when I connect the RCA cables to the adapter it displays a blue screen. If I leave it plugged in for a bit the screen, then becomes distorted going in between its distortion and blue screen. Is there a way to resolve it? I have the same adapter as the one in the video, I'm using it to connect to my N64 and PS1 and I've tried different HDMI cables as well as changing its port.
Hey Travon just double checking if your converter has the rca ports on the input side and the hdmi on the output side.
I need help using an adapter like this with my new LG tv. Everything’s connected like you said and it still doesn’t detect any input. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Hey EA, can you have a look at the each of the inputs you're connected to and let me know what they're labeled?
My tv have components inputs is there any adaptor that will work?
Here you go! amzn.to/3zumO0j
@@SimpleCafeE thank you very much.
Thanks now l watch my DVD to my new smart tv
Welcome!
Hi watching here sir...
Honestly RCA was great in my opinion ,you always had one spare somewere in the house and they never come loose and even when you pull them out its a tight seal connection ,now days hdmi wiggle about and brake the hdmi port after time 🤔 im here because my ps2 doesnt fir my tv ports obv 😂
Yea they can come loose easily.
Best video
If I want to connect my Xbox 360 to my 4k monitor I need to get the RCA to HDMI version right??
doesn't your xbox 360 have hdmi output?
RCA to HDMI is correct however I can't say if you'll be happ with the resultsi if you're expecting 4K resolution. rca is only about 680 pixels while your tv is going to be displaying more than 4x that. just a word of caution. See if you can use this instead as it may produce better results: amzn.to/3FWcpi2
@@gamecubeplayer yeah I literally just seen it after I spent $20 on the converter 🤦 I’ve always used the AV cables back in the day I never knew it had HDMI
@GameCube Player Turns out not so on the first two models.
@@SimpleCafeE the first 2 models shouldn't be used because they die easily
I used the extremella RCA to HDMI converter though not a TV but a sound bar no sound output. Any comment ?
How are you Abayaomi? what is your source if not a tv?
Thank you! Does it work if i connect the hdmi to my soundbar? As my soundbar only has HDMI and Usb input.
Hey sorry for the super late response. The tv must have an ARC connection.
Hi there, I want to connect my 90's cassette sharp camera on my Vizio tv. Do you think this converter works for the camera? The camera came with output jack audio cable, white and yellow colors.
Sound like it should!
@@SimpleCafeEThanks, it worked perfect like vintage
I need to convert my roku (hdmi) to my old tv (av cables) I guess I need
hdmi to a/v connection. Is that correct?
Thanks
Exactly correct! I need to make a video for that...
What if the TV is RCA and google chromecast is the one that has the HDMI cable?
Get the opposite converter. Here’s one amzn.to/3GFFSvw
Good Morning Sir may i know where did you purchase your HDMI conveter? Im willing to order. Please reply thank you in advance.
Hey there Donna. I got one at a store called microcenter and the other from Amazon - amzn.to/3cSMNWt (got the second one because it can also convert aux)
you know what really grinds my gear!
the new lg oled tv's like the c9 have composite and component inputs BUT just the models for east of europe and west of europe. in central europe they force people to just use hdmi. thats not Fair. these inputs are needed for ever. they could at least give us the av jack so wd can play old consoles or plug set top boxes without hdmi in our tv
sorry for my english
Yes it's tough. In the states they're phasing out RCA too, that's why I made this video. P.S. your english was perfect.
Where did you order the item?
I got one at a Micro Center and the one from the video from Amazon
Can this be used for speaker audio
