Hello dear all experts,

Can any one tell me if I can connect a device with AV output cables (Yellow / red / white phonos). to an HDMI or Scart. I am not also sure if these leads come ready made or do I need to make these up myself?
Thanks in anticipation,
seb

  • Hi Seb,
    the easiest way is to use converter AV to SCART

    Take into consideration that it will be very poor quality as it will still be 'composite' (A single video signal), scart is RGB (3 signals) and hdmi is digital

    Thanks Seb,aliENrik, So what is 'YPbPr (480i/480p/576i, 576p and 720p)' I think it is an RSJ with 3 leads, not sure how does it fit in as an input to a tv.

  • Those are component signals, and are different again. To use them you will need a display with a set of green, red and blue inputs.
    Try saying "I have under-a-pound in my wallet" and listen to people react!

    I have an Sony HD TV and think it has a Scart input, may be I can use that lead, isn't
    USB digital, can that not be connected to HDMI, sorry for asking stupid questions.

    If you have a sony HD tv then it will almost certainly already have a video input (The yellow phono lead), usually on the side of the tv (Whats the model number?)

    And no, you cant convert an analogue (Scart) signal to a digital (HDMI) one without spending quite a lot of money (Though im not entirely sure if thats what youve just asked). USB cant be converted to HDMI either

    I have a 46W5500 so they probably have the exact same connections

    So 1st question is, what is it your actually trying to connect, and what connections does it have?

    And it definitely has the yellow (video), red and white (Audio) connections on the side so you dont need ANY other connectors aside from the normal phono leads
