Which way does this work? Composite -> HDMI or HDMI -> Composite? I need RCA Video/Audio to go to my HDMI Receiver port. Will this work with that?

it will not work if your tv isnt HD. This cord is for systems that has HDMI port to connect to a HD TV that doesnt have HDMI port in the back of the system. does not work for old tvs lets just say it like that. and its also good for DVD player to connect to HD TV when dvd player doesnt have HDMI port. hope that helps.

That cable does not work because RCA is analog and HDMI is high def. One needs a converter to get what you need done.

I believe it depends on how new your television is. My television wasn't very new and it did not work that way. But if your television has built-in HDMI also it should work.

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

you could get a $10 ish converter box to take the optical to rca digital, I've had to do that for my audio receiver as it came with more rca digital, than optical, and HDMI was yet to include audio pass through at the time.

No, it will work with composite cords as well. That's why the system comes with both HDMI cords and composite cords.

YES, you can use either HDMI cable or standard RCA style cables. Both are provided in the box. (As well as a rather well designed Codura carry case). The instructions say that the RCA jacks are preferable when using a sound system separate form the TV and the HDMI is used when connecting directly to the TV itself. I'm using the HDMI directly to the TV and it works GREAT! Kids love it but they are driving me crazy with the 2100+ songs included!

Can't say for sure since I only use this switch for component video. It's possible that the red white audio plugs only go with s-video or composite. It's also true you can only output what you put in. There is no up or down conversion circuitry from composite to component or vice versa. No HDMI capability also.

I have this same receiver with cox cable box as well. I have the HDMI wire running from the receiver to the TV. The second HDMI wire from the cable box to the receiver. It works fine. I had to switch the HDMI port on my TV for some reason? I was not getting video, only sound? I tried a different port and it works fine. My problem is that my 7.1 surround sound speakers sound bad? I feel I have to turn the volume almost all the way up to get it even remotely loud.

PamRosa, We haven't tested that, so it's difficult to give a definitive answer. You can try by using an RCA cable to your receiver from the "audio out" port while it's connected. If not, however, we can't offer support on how to make that happen. HDMI usually carries both the audio and video through the same cable, and the design may not offer an option. --Mr. S

My question to you is "If you are hooking up with an HDMI cable, why are you also using and optical cable?". HDMI carries the complete spectrum of audio and does not require an additional audio cable. You may be confusing either the player and/or your audio receiver.

I'm going to purchasing this adapter to convert from RCA to HDMI for a Wii. I'm hoping it works.However, I did come across and adapter that was HDMI to RCA (the other way around). I noticed the difference in input to output of the two different adapters. You might want to check that the input and output are in the right order for the right adapter.

If I read this correctly, no. You would need HDMI to Composite, this is Composite to HDMI: http://www.amazon.com/Etekcity%C2%AE-Composite-Video-Audio-Converter/dp/B008FO7PQA/

If you mean composite as in your typical R/W/Y, then no, it does not. Only BNC and HDMI

HDMI cable worked with AV receiver just fine ... both video and audio signal from Wii to receiver, then video signal to TV and audio to external speakers. I did not need to use a separate audio output.

Works for my set up with both audio and video. Receiver output is split into two other components. Both audio and video. Must understand, with my set up, this is NOT HDTV. I never tried to split component for HDTV, so not sure if that would work. Just video and left/right audio.

Hie Kimie. This is a nice but sad to say but it only converts as hmdi cable to a plug in that like on a computer monitor go to this amazon page. you want a hdmi to rca plugs. I never used 1 so can not recomened which one to buy. I would not recomed the cables with jusyt defrent ends. go with a box type with good ratings. if you can aford the exstra bucks get 1 that comes with a power supply.

HDMI connection carry both the video and sound. Not being familiar with the advancement of audio receivers I can not say for certain that it will not work. Depending on the connections from your components that you have their may be a way to to do it. For me, I just connected it to the tv. Hope this helps.

If all you need to do it put audio through your receiver, this device will work for you. My receiver doesn't have HDMI either, so I just feed the audio using TOSLINK to it and the HDMI out to my TV. Works fine.
