How do you make the converted screen fit an older tv. We are running it through the av input on the front of or vcr.

Unfortunately I had so many problems with it that I gave up on it and threw it away. I wish I had commented on it sooner but I actually forgot all about it. I hope you have better luck with it than I did.

No you can NOT. This converts HDMI to AV (yellow video port), not the other way around. They make a separate converter that does AV (yellow, red, and white VCR connections) to HDMI. That's what you would want if you are connecting a VCR to an HDTV. Just make sure it says "AV to HDMI" and not the other way around. This product works very well, I would assume their other converters work just as well.

There is an adaptor available here on Amazon that works great. Here is the name of it: Etekcity HDMI to AV Composite RCA CVBS Video + Audio Converter For TV PS3 VHS VCR DVD. I have one and all you need is your HDMI cable and some RCA cable and you are ready to go.

this device will help you connect a newer device(vcr, dvd, blue ray, etc.) to an older tv. new devices don't have a coaxial output and older tvs don't have composite inputs. so if your tv has a coaxial input, this will work. it does downstep the resolution, so don't expect hd quality video.

I'm sorry Sam, I think i misread your initial question. The cable i was referring to was for output not in. my bad. I don't think you can do what your wanting with this camcorder. However there are other options besides a third party to convert your old VHS tapes. Simply search for a vhs to dvd converter. There are many options to choose from. Again sorry for misreading your question.

What this product will do is convert any input into an output that is most compatible with the display, i.e. 1920 x 1080 p. What this product will not do is improve the picture quality. A VCR tape using 455 scan lines will look so so but all the imperfections will be accentuated, especially on an 82" screen. The product does not create any additional information from the source information, it deconstructs the signal and reprocesses it to be compatible with the display.

I'm going to have to say no. I saw the discrepancy as well but my TV fit within both ranges. I think your TV will be too large though, sorry.

I just ordered my TV so I do not have one to look at but I would guess the problem you are having has to do with trying to display the lower resolution VHS tapes on the higher resolution TV. When it tries to "upconvert" the tapes to HD, it creates all that snow you are seeing. I would look at changing the display mode on the TV so it isn't HD anymore or displays a lower resolution. I would look at the aspect ratio setting and try: 4:3 instead of the normal 16:9 which will give a SD resolution of 480i or 480p (I think...lol). Of course, don't forget to change the display mode back when you watch any other programming so you get HD. I hope this helps but no guarantees.

I think Larry is spot on. If you have another HDMI handy, swap that in there. if it still persists, return it for another converter box.

I used my C&E; HDMI/S-video converter to provide the input connection for two DVD recorders and old VCR through an amplifier and it works very good. I would expect it to provide a very good S-video signal to your television.

Try a vga to hdmi adapter and hook it up to your TV. Hdmi is more reliable and compatible with modern TVs. While vga is great, it will actually look better with this adapter.

Jennifer D.: In case you still have this problem, below are the steps of a workaround that worked for me, and hopefully will work for you too. It appears that the key step is to temporarily configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. I found this after trying to debug a similar very frustrating problem with my Toshiba DR430 DVD recorder and Scientific Atlanta 8300HD DVR. 1. Disconnect the HDMI cable from the DVR to the TV. (Note that the only way my Scientific Atlanta DVR would enter the standard-definition setup wizard in step 2 below was with this cable disconnected. Originally, I did not disconnect this cable, and I suspect that as long as the DVR thought it was outputting a picture to an HDTV that it would override other configuration settings that I made.) 2. Configure the DVR to output only a standard-definition TV signal. (As per the user manual for my Scientific Atlanta DVR, start this process by simultaneously pressing the "INFO" and "GUIDE" buttons on the DVR while it is turned off. This was pretty easy to change and then undo later.) 3. In the DVR "Settings," set the "Picture Size" option to "Auto Fit." (It is also possible to quickly set this by repeatedly pressing the "#" key on the remote control.) 4. At this point, the aspect ratio in the DVD recorder was FINALLY correct and there were no bordering black bars. Hurray! Record shows onto DVDs as desired. 5. When I play a recorded DVD on the Toshiba unit the aspect ratio is correct and there are no bordering black bars. However, when I play a DVD on my Panasonic Blu-ray player, I have to set the aspect ratio on my Panasonic TC-P50VT20 Plasma HDTV to "JUST" to horizontally stretch the picture, but this is a very simple adjustment that is easy to change. Hopefully you can perform similar steps to workaround this annoying problem. Ron

No. Most older TV's have a standard AV input (red, white and sometimes yellow), so this DVI to HDMI converter will not work. You are looking for an HDMI to AVI connector. Also, look out for converters that are AVI to HDMI... not necessarily the same thing. You are looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/Sabrent-Composite-S-Video-Converter-DA-HDRC/dp/B009TC9T7K/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_1_1

I don't know everything there is to know about this system. The first thing I would do is eliminate the splitters and see if the problems are corrected. Secondly, when I hooked mine up, my computer automatically reprogrammed it's format system to fit my TV, how I'm not sure. I do know that when I disconnected the cable from the TV, my computer text and resolutions were all messed up. I still haven't gotten them back to where they were. However, all that said, it worked fine when I first connected it and we were able to watch the DVD video from the computer play on the TV. You also might try to contact the manufactuer to see what they have to say. Hope this helps a little. I don't know everything there is to know about this system.

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.
