I want to connect an older RCA OUTPUT(only) surround sound receiver to an HDMI television INPUT. Does this device make that possible?

I'm not sure - I only tested the Roku scenario. I can tell you that the 'box' has rca output [only] jacks the the HDMI is input [only]. In other words your source has to be feeding you something from hdmi and your destination has to be able to receive rca inputs. So, for me I have the new Roku that had only an HDMI on the back of the Roku. But my old tv only had rca input jacks in the back. This special box allowed me to bridge that gap. Hope this info helped. Kevin

I guess that depends of your receiver this only transform your rca or component wii connection to hdmi with usually to 1080 but this is not true, bit works for me, because my tv didn't have rca or component only hdmi

My receiver has 2 output, so I haven't tried this - but the directions indicate you only need hook up one RCA jack.

You can buy a converter box at Amazon that will convert HDMI to RCA cables. That is what I did.

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.

I don't think so. component RCAs are analog and unless you get a converter, the cable won't make the signals digital like your TV HDMI slot needs.

No really sure. I bought this to hook up my receiver for surround sound & it didn't work.

I have a new HDTV and it only has the optical output. We went from the cable box to the TV with HDMI, but I also want to connect to a home theater system. My receiver is an older one and does not have HDMI or optical. Can I just use the left- right audio outputs that are on the back of the cable box for the audio receiver as well as using the HDMI for the television??? Sal

If you have HDMI source connected, then RCA will have 2 channel sound, but you may have to set switch on unit to 2 channel

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.

That's exactly what I tried (except I think you meant HDMI output, not input). It didn't work at all for this particular converter. I'm going to try a more expensive converter that looks identical and supposedly does the same thing, but I haven't ordered it yet.

I agree. All the new receivers require HDMI connections. If your TV does not have an HDMI connection for TV input then it will not work. The older TV's had the component cables (Red, Blue and Green).

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!

No - you would need the opposite conversion device, that is, HDMI to RCA Audio/Video. Assuming it works as advertised, you might still be unhappy with the results. Regardless of the source, a standard-definition TV can't produce a high-definition display.

This adapter can only use from RCA input to HDMI output not other way, you must buy the other one, HDMI input to RCA output.

It should. However you will want to check with your TV manual to confirm if all inputs will output to the coaxial out. On my 2009 RCA model TV it will but surround is not passed through on HDMI but is if you are watching ota via an antenna it will. I can confirm this works to convert 5.1 DD Coax to spdif optical out with no delay.

This won't work. There is only one hdmi on the sound bar. Its actually a dumb design on Philips part. You also have the option of rca from the tv to the sound bar.
