How do I convert hdmi to component?

blu ray player component output image

Scarlette

I have an older sanyo hd TV and a new lg blu ray player.The problem is that my tv does not have a hdmi output, it only has outputs for component cables.What do I buy to go from hdmi to component?

Answer
How the devices are hooked up with a hdmi cable.
- Blu-ray player hdmi output to hdmi input on tv for tv video+audio. (Configure output and inputs settings).
- Hdmi > displayport > dvi > vga, will all be capable of doing up to 1080p or beyond.
- Component will do up to 720p and 1080i. (If the tv does not have the above connections, it will not likely be able to do beyond 720p or 1080i).

If the blu-ray player has hdmi output and tv gots a dvi-i or dvi-d input,
- Use a hdmi to dvi-d cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a dvi output and tv gots a dvi input,
- Use a dvi cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a vga output and tv gots a vga input,
- Use a vga cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has vga output and tv gots a dvi-i or dvi-a input or vice versa,
- Use a vga to dvi-a cable.
or
If the blu-ray player has a component output and the tv gots a tv component input,
- Use a component cable (other than hdmi, a blu-ray player should always have at least one other video output like component video).
or
If your outputs/inputs use a different signal, you cannot use a simple cable, you would need a converter (or a receiver which can convert as well).
- Now to answer your question, if a converter is your only option, you can get a hdmi to component converter, you can find them on monoprice and amazon.
- EDIT: I forgot to mention that both vga and component is analog and hdmi is digital + use different color spaces.ect = you need a hdmi converter to go to vga or component. (Hdmi to vga converter > hdmi to component converter. Check what resolution each does, vga will do 1080p or beyond, while component will only do up to 720p or 1080i). (Check if you got vga, if not use component).

How can I hook up an HDMI only Blu Ray player to an old component only Sony Wega TV?

I just purchased a Samsung BD-E5400 for my parents. Turns out, they only have an old flat screen, first gen Sony Wega that is HD compatible, but only has the red, white, and yellow outputs. The only output jacks that exist on the Blu Ray player are a USB and HDMI output. Is there a converter I could possibly use?

Answer
Yes, HDMI to RCA converter
