HDMI to Component

[Chucky Cheese]

I have a 55 inch mitsubishi rear projection tv (HD Ready). It has no dvi or hdmi, just component inputs. Im ready to purchase my new reciever. Will this work so I can see my HD conent as well as listen to it in True HD or Master Audio? http://cgi.ebay.com/DVI-HDMI-to-RGB-...d=p3286.c0.m14

For only $4.96 each when QTY 50+ purchased - DVI-I Male to 3 RCA component Adapter w/ DIP Switch for ATI Video Cards (Gold Plated) | DVI <--> 3RCA Component

That's all I need it for. Audio is comming out of the reciever. Your link from mono price is not what I need though. I need to go from hdmi out the reciever back to componet. That one goes component in Hdmi out.

Better stick with one thread, cross posting is not better way to get answers. Check your other thread.

I don't think it will work. according to the manufactuers specs:

Converting DVI HDMI to Component Video/YPbPr
This converter helps users connect non-HDCP type HDMI or DVI output from video devices like up-converting DVD players/recorder or up-converting AV receiver to TVs or projectors with component video YPbPr inputs.

Or users may choose to watch the HDCP contents at a reduced 480p resolution on any HDTV display via component cable connection with the help of this digital to analog video converter.

I don't want to watch at a reduced resolution.

I gave you other choice in your second thread.

I tried one of those for my 65" RP Mitz. It didn't work. I did get a picture but it was messed up--changing colors, etc. Not acceptable at all. I think the problem had to do with HDCP. I did receive a full refund when I sent it back but it was a different seller. I don't know what type of receiver you're getting but I do get excellent HD via component inputs from my Dish Network 722. I just wanted to be able to use the HDMI for Blue Ray or when they might no longer allow 1080i over component because of copy protection sometime in the future. Hope this helps.

"I think the problem had to do with HDCP" - nope; in case of HDCP problem you would see nothing.

You said you were shopping for a new receiver - here you go. This will handle your video AND your audio:

HDMI is sending audio and video as 0s and 1s. The component video sends an analog signal to your TV. To receive HD at your TV you need to send the signal as an analog signal (or purchase a D/A converter which could be expensive and may not improve your video image). Component out and component in. This allows your receiver to convert the signal and send an analog HD signal to your display. It is still HD.
