Would this be a viable option for connecting a blu-ray player with HDMI output to an older TV with only RCA inputs and no HDMI connections?

No, don't make the same mistake I did..twice. I wanted rca to hdmi and thought that's what I was getting but no. It's an rca to USB not hdmi.

There's no need for a separate audio connection with this receiver. For a nonblu ray source it will accept and process any audio signal over HDMI. For blu ray, you'll need a player that decodes the new formats and outputs PCM.

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.

Sure, with the right y splitters, it should work over RCA. Some tv's also have a monitor out. HDMI gets a little more tricky due to DLNA , but there are devices for that as well.

No Unfortunately this will not work for that, it only allows one single active source at a time, which ever the most recent device active will send to the tv. If you are watching cable then turn your Blu ray on, the Blu ray will appear on your screen without you doing anything. Not sure I have heard of a switcher that will do what you are asking, but sounds like a great idea. Just an FYI I like this unit but it is my second one the first one got hot and stopped working.

No. This is specifically for HDMI to RCA. Meaning a blu-Ray player to a TV that only has a Yellow Video in port and does not have an HDMI port.

Best I can say is that it did not work as a composite for me but if you have something that can convert analog to digital then this may? bridge the link. I had to buy a HDMI to RCA composite from another seller to get my old tube Tv to work with my new blueray player. It costs about $33 and looks like a little white box. I hope this helped?

I bought it to connect an older DVD/VCR player to my new Vizio TV. There were no available imputs to connect the unit so I took a chance. It works perfectly for my needs. It upscales old movies and discs to near HD quality. For me, it's a great solution. The connections I needed were simple RCA and none were available on my TV so this fit the bill. I hope this helps.

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

As far as I know, no... This one goes the other way. This allows you to play old school video games through an hdmi tv. You would want to make sure that the input is hdmi and the output is red yellow white for what you are trying to do, but personally I would be concerned about video quality at that point...

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.

No, you would have to buy the other one with the output being RCA and the input being hdmi. You would use this adapter for hooking up a hdmi only device to an older TV with no hdmi.

Yes this would work. This is merely an adapter to go from RCA to whatever you want.

No you can't. This device only handles old style analog coaxial TV signals. Your Blu-ray players audio output is a digital coaxial output.

If you have an "old" reciever that uses RCA inputs you will need a NeweR reciever that utilizs a HDMI cable. I said the same thing, then bought a newer reciver 3 years ago . hope this helps.

You could, but there are no RCA inputs which is usually the most common connection on a home receiver. Other than having a connection type adapter you should be able to use it. Make sure and turn off the backlit logo as it might be a little bright in a theater room.
