If i plug in a dvd player using RCA jack (composite) to this receiver, will it be able to output to HDMI?

No. Garbage in = garbage out. You must connect your DVD player using an HDMI cable in order to get an HDMI output to your TV.

Hi jjang, Yes, it will output all the signal to HDMI OUT. Thanks. &gt;joffrey

Since it's a Blu-ray player, it probably has HDMI out, rather than RCA. You likely want to convert HDMI to RCA in order to connect to a projector that doesn't have HDMI in. If that's the case, this isn't what you need. You need http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008FO7PQA/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk.

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.

No I don't think so I tried to use it to to connect my my older Rca TV to dvd player did not work

Don't believe it will do what you want. This little box works great but the OUTPUT is HDMI.Sounds like you need the other direction INPUT HDMI and output RCA

No signal loss should occur on any HDMI output on the DVD player (did you mean Blu-Ray player?), it should simply transmit the signal straightforwardly to the HDMI input (you assign it) on the receiver.

It has 2 RGB inputs which carry the component signal. All you need is a RGB to component cable, you can get them on Amazon for like 4 bucks. Most DVD players have component out. By the way Component is capable of carring a full HD signal in analog format, you won't notice any difference in picture quality verses HDMI. RGB does not carry any audio signal. So you would have to hook up audio seperately.

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

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

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.

You should be able to. The player had RCA, component, S-video and HDMI connections.

No, it does not. ): Component inputs HAS to be component out, and it is the same for everything else. HDMI out only works for HDMI inputs and so forth.

You should be able to if the tv has output RCA jacks coming from the tv or dvd player. I believe most still do.

Yes, you need to connect RCA cables from sat receiver to DVD unit and select the DVD-R input for those particular jacks on the back (Line 1). There is no HDMI input on this model but it has RCA composite, S-Video and if memory serves me right, component input. I would use S-Video if my sat/cable receiver has such output for better picture.

"If you had 2 outputs (usually they're composite outputs made for RCA jacks) a computer system like this would be useless with your TV."So if I have anything other than a headphone jack, I can't use this for TV speakers? How exactly do I listen to audio from video discs or tapes if I can't use the RCA jacks? Is the same true for HDMI connection of a Blu ray player to a TV?

The HDMI signal from the DVD player has the audio encoded into the video signal. This unit breaks out the video to VGA and the audio into an analog L/R signal which you could feed into an audio receiver which is required to amplify the sound so one can hear it. Powered computer speakers may work as well if the appropriate converter is available.
