Reddit mentions of Tendak 1080P HDMI to AV 3RCA CVBs Composite Video Audio Converter Adapter Supporting PAL/NTSC with USB Charge Cable for PC Laptop Xbox PS4 PS3 TV STB VHS VCR Camera DVD (White)

You bought one that takes HDMI in and outputs it to RCA. You need one that takes RCA and outputs it to HDMI. In your photo HDMI is clearly labeled "IN" and the component is clearly labeled "Out". These boxes only work in one direction.

Edit: You want this but you bought this

You could buy an HDMI to composite converter (https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00KBQZC4M) they work great. I've probably used a dozen of them for different AV projects.

Use that and some thrift shop bluray player and for a total of $20, you're good to go

You have the wrong adapter, that cable is for a different type of component video ( I don't know what it's called but it's for HD ) you wont be able to go from hdmi to RCA without an active adapter because it's digital to analog.


Edit: something like this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KBQZC4M/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1456947709&sr=8-3&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=hdmi+to+rca&dpPl=1&dpID=41Cmau1tgOL&ref=plSrch

Get this, and this, along with some basic a/v cables, and you should be set.

You can do it yourself with one of these type devices. Just hook it up to your pc and then plug the output into the input on a vcr. Put in a fresh vhs. Play a dvd/bluray/media file on your pc and press record on the vcr. Now you have a vhs copy of something that was never supposed to exist on vhs. I can't really say if that model converter is any good or not as I haven't tried it, I just linked it as an example of the type of device you'd need to convert modern films to vhs. Just make sure that whatever one you get converts the audio as well or your tapes will be silent. I figured out how to do this so I could make a vhs copy of the movie Worm for a friend whose a vhs junkie because it's his favorite movie and it never got an actual release. For the case I bought a vhs copy of toy story for a buck and switched out the graphic insert for a custom made one.

not quite sure, but do you mean one of theese? http://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00KBQZC4M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1425334586&sr=8-1&keywords=dvi+to+component+audio

Should be this one:

Hope this help and good luck

It will work. In really low res because that's what the monitor is only capable of.

Edit: Didn't notice you said cable. Yeah a cable won't work, you need something like this:

I have this exact one, works great.

Something like this is what I meant:

It doesn't matter that your TV won't understand there digital HDMI signal, because this converts it to analog (composite, SD in this case). Then an RF modulator can be used if the TV doesn't have a direct line in.

What other inputs does the TV have? Composite is pretty shitty, even when talking about analog inputs.

>I'm considering buying an HDMI to composite adapter but I need one to transfer the sound to the TV speakers as well.

Anything like this should transfer audio as well:

>I would also want to use the TV as an everyday monitor but of course 640x480 wouldn't be very livable.

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Are you asking for CRT TV suggestions? Or is this just a general comment?

lightning to hdmi

hdmi to rca box

This is correct. Get an audio deembedder or apple tvs used to have an optical audio out, you could convert that to 3.5 or whatever the tv takes as the dvi audio. (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-optical-coaxial-digital-to-analog-converter-black/4226000.p?id=1219710233949&skuId=4226000)

I assume youre using tv speakers and not a receiver, otherwise you could run the optical directly to the amp. Buying an hdmi to composite converter would be the easiest way but you'd lose quality.

The Roku Express+ retails for $40, connects directly via composite, and also offers HDMI in case you later upgrade.

Alternatively, some people have had success with HDMI converter to allow connecting HDMI devices to non-HDMI TVs. They only work in one direction (some only convert to HDMI) and the cord-only versions are totally different, so if you go this route check the reviews to make sure you're getting the right product. Prices range and fluctuate but are usually just north of $20.

The reviews are often quite mixed and quality control was hot or miss a few years back (but seems to have improved in the last year and a half or so), so YMMV.

I'm trying to plug in some old Acoustic Research Powered Partner 850 speakers to my desktop computer.


They originally were hooked up using a 3.5mm jack from the speakers to RCA on a CD/DVD player.

However my desktop doesn't have an RCA connection so I was wondering if a straight male to male 3.5mm connection would work


Or I was browsing around reddit and google and saw this adapter for RCA to HDMI and was wondering if that could work. The only issue i see is that it's for AV signals so not sure if that matters if it's only going to receive audio signals.

There were also some post discussing using an amp but these dont have speaker wires, the only other connectors are the power cable and the one to connect two speakers together to make them a stereo combo which fits into the speaker output slot you see on the image.

So wondering if it's possible or if they're too old and I should just get different speakers.

Edit: The peeps on the IRC chat helped out, the male to male connector should work they said so thanks guys, going to try that out :)

[You need a HDMI to composite D/A Converter] (http://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00KBQZC4M/ref=pd_sim_23_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41Cmau1tgOL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&refRID=1MR3Y5HPFR19WFK26543).
The thing you bought is a DTV tuner. It decodes a digital broadcast signal and splits it into TV channels. It converts a DTV input into video and outputs it as analog Composite RCA or as digital HDMI

I love the setup. For the TV, I have an HDMI to composite adapter. It works great for getting newer media on the old CRT tvs. Check out the link here.

I assume it would work.

Even simpler would just be buying a blueray drive for $50 for a computer and recording the sound straight.

I'd assume that's 480i only. What are you getting HDMI from? Can it output HDMI at 480i?

If yes, something like https://www.amazon.com/Tsing-Component-YPbPr-Adapter-Converter/dp/B01E50T2FE/

If no, https://www.amazon.com/Tendak-Composite-Converter-Adapter-Supporting/dp/B00KBQZC4M/

It's going to look pretty awful regardless. Just be warned.

Ah component AV. I don't think there are any direct connections. In order for video to work to your car you would need an HDMI out from your nexus and an HDMI to Component AV adapter. In that case it should work.

This one from Amazon should work.

This USB-C to HDMI adapter should work on your 6p. You'd just need an HDMI cable other than these two products.

You should have probably read this part on the description:

> The cable only has the connection function, it cannot help converting signal

You'll need to get an active conversion box like this one.
