Dear friend, thank you for your question. There is a switch "S-VIDEO/CVBS" on the back of this converter. Please turn it to the correct side. For example, when you use S-video output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "S-VIDEO", the left side. When you use AV (CVBS) output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "CVBS", the right side. In addition, there is a "PAL/NTSC" switch. Please swtich it to both sides to have a try. Hope that this will be helpful. Have a nice day! Best regards,KeedoxMaria

Thanks! That makes sense. I did get a message that said something about HDCP. Can you recommend any HDMI cables that are HDCP compatible? I was trying to avoid spending a ton of money on one, but maybe I just have to. I also read on avsforum about firmware updates, etc. I guess I'll try a new cable before contacting Samsung.

Did you try to unplug the HDMI cable? If you switch input source or bring up the menu, does this show the overlay screen with the correct colors? Otherwise search for this at the internet.

I've also noted the sound out of sync with the video - but I tracked it back to the software used to convert the HDTV source down to the 320x240 image. some software works better than others - try it before you buy it.

So I have run into this before but I am not an expert. Some monitors will only accept 1080P or 720P. My source was 420P something like that so one of the monitors called it out of range. I was using a image one surgical camera that only had SDI output that once converted was 420 or 480P output and that didn't work with one of my Monitors. The TV monitor probably accepts a larger range of HDMI input. Scott

Jimmy, most modern HDTV's do not "like" the old 240P signal which those systems generate video on. My Sony Plasma just gets a black screen on some. By going through your receiver, that device is likely scaling to a different resolution (480i, 480p, 720p, etc.) which the tv then does like! I personally had to get a video upscaler instead of this device, and used that with SCART RGB to go to HDMI. I kept this device to use on my old CRT that accepts component input.

It sounds like you may have had the same issue I had. I took it to a camera shop and all this guy did was push a few buttons on the HDMI and waited then the image popped up. So the key is fiddle with it and wait I guess.

Very doubtful. First, this isn't just RGB. It's component cable, which (over-simplification) was first generation HD (480i). Plus, I needed a HDMI to component cable (480i) and this cable didn't work.

the Tv is not recieving a truue digital signal.... you must connect thru the HDMI or colorstream ports and ALSO have a true digital signal coming in to get a 1080p on start up.... most DVD's (not blue ray) can not generate true 1080... and some cable networks you need a 1080 converter..... dish satelite or digital over the air should draw a 1080 response.. hope that helps... PS: my Tv works great... and has since I bought it.. Joe

Thanks for the feedback, just to update the situation I bought a more expensive HDMI cable made by Belden, same problem no signal when using HDMI. I was going to switch the box as well but I guess this is useless. I guess all you can do is complain until verizon fios comes to my area

I will try this when I get home (I'm almost 100% positive that it will work :-)). I'm seeing the same problem in my blueray home theatre system. Thanks for sharing the resolution.

Not sure of your complete set up but if using receiver make sure hdmi is turned on w receiver and the same w tv make sure that port is turned on through video options

Jmaze - Check the audio setting on your cable box. When using HDMI connections your source must output digital sound. I don't remember the exact details but i had a similar problem with my setup and it was fixed by using the right kind of audio settings for my cable box.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

Have you tried a different via cable if that is how you are connected? Move the existing cable around, does the color improve/change? Check the pins in the ends of the cable, are any of them bent? If you connect other video sources such as a vcr or DVD player is this also green? Working with projectors for 10 years has taught me If all inputs result in a green or yellow screen you have a failing light engine, if it's just one component you most likely have a bad cable.

Best I can say is that it did not work as a composite for me but if you have something that can convert analog to digital then this may? bridge the link. I had to buy a HDMI to RCA composite from another seller to get my old tube Tv to work with my new blueray player. It costs about $33 and looks like a little white box. I hope this helped?

Several years ago (2010?) HDCP became mandatory for player output of HD video and that requires HDMI. Therefore, no relatively recent BD player can do what you want. The only solution would be an external box that supports HDMI w/HDCP and outputs RGB. I suggest you go to a forum such as "AVS Forum" and ask for advice in the CRT projector sub-forum. Those guys have/had to deal with the same issue.PS. There used to be a converter box available from the Far East that was referred to as a "Moome" box, don't know whether it's still available or if there's something else. Several years ago (2010?)
