    HDMI to Component. Is it possible?

    My friend has an Xbox One that he would like to use with his old TV. He doesn't want to get rid of his widescreen 27" Toshiba CRT. I don't blame him, the picture is beautiful! The issue is that it only has S-Video and YPbPr for video. Is there a cable or converter box that will do this with decent quality? I have mostly seen issues and complaints looking online. Appreciate any input

      Re: HDMI to Component. Is it possible?

      im afraid u'll need some kind of a DAC video signal converter box because hdmi carries a digital signal while component video is actually analogue. u are at the mercy of how well the DAC chip that does the conversion is designed. obviously, china brands wont be at the top of the list...

      even if the crt gives a nice picture, a junk DAC converter will just ruin the picture...

                          Thanks for the replies everyone No SCART plug unfortunately. I found one on eBay that is less than 20 miles away http://www.ebay.com/itm/Portta-PETRH...YAAOSwA3dYWgi3

                          It says component to HDMI. Would it go the other way?

                              You want the box with HDMI INPUT that takes the HDMI output of your game to feed to the black box and convert it to component Video output to feed your old TV.

                                  So what you're saying is that they're not bidirectional and has to be specifically HDMI>Component conversion?

                                      exactly.
                                      the one you linked is the wrong direction.

                                          Thanks for the info fellas How much do you think it would affect that latency in games?

                                              I have problem with my AVR(Marantz SR4003) HDMI board issue. I connect to my TV but screen color distorted,see attached picture.

                                              Connection as below:
                                              Set-top box HDMI output >AVR 3 HDMI input/one HDMI output>HDTV HDMI port
                                              If I bypassed AVR then HDTV screen color be good.

                                              I take out HDMI board from AVR and check services manual the schematic shown the HDMI signals path:
                                              3 HDMI input port > SIL9185 chip(HDMI switch) > SIL9033 chip(HDMI receiver) > SIL9030 chip(HDMI transmitter) > HDMI output port

                                              I replaced all...

                                              Certain DisplayPort-HDMI cables can disable HDMI CEC communication
                                              by japlytic
                                              With a setup including a TV and AV receiver where HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) and Audio Return Channel (ARC) functions were working, these two functions stopped working after changing some connections (not the one between the AV receiver and TV), so I believed it was a corrupt setting in the AV receiver or TV, but when I disconnected a passive DisplayPort-HDMI cable (which a Multimode DisplayPort connector supports HDMI with a low cost passive cable or adaptor) connected to a home theatre PC, HDMI CEC and ARC functionality was restored.

                                              by spleenharvester
                                              I have this TV hooked up to only an AppleTV 4K and a Creative soundbar. Originally HDMI-CEC and HDMI-ARC wouldn't work at all, I replaced all the HDMI cables with decent UGREEN cables meeting the latest standards, now it all works perfectly but once or twice a day the TV itself reboots while watching a program, the AppleTV keeps running. I haven't fully pinned down whether it is ARC or CEC causing it yet. All are running latest firmware.

                                              I assume it is just HDMI-CEC being buggy as usual on a shitty Vestel machine, but can anyone think of anything I can try before disabling it?

                                              LG LCD TV picture comes on intermittenly using hdmi port.The sound is on permantly.The hdmi ports looks fine and soldered in securely.The 3.4v coming to the main board is not present(not sure if will affect the hdmi port or where that voltage goes.)The hdmi cable is fine because it works on another tv.The ceramic caps connected to the hdmi controller ic is reading 39 ohms.Could the hdmi controller ic be faulty(feels very warm to touch).The RCA jacks work normally .Thank you in advance for your assistance..

                                              Pioneer VSX-44 receiver HDMI dropouts
                                              by RatherLoopy
                                              I have an older Pioneer receiver (VSX-44) that's been dropping the HDMI output (black screen) for a few seconds every few minutes. Setup is HTPC -> Pioneer DVD HCMI in -> Pioneer HDMI out -> Samsung TV HDMI in, all with cheap HDMI cables that have never caused trouble before..

                                              I initially found a lot of play in the receiver's HDMI inputs and output so I kind of squeezed them back into shape and they're making a tighter connection, but the problem persists.

                                              And also, often, the HDMI will drop out in exactly the same way (black screen) just as my central air...
