3.0 out of 5 stars Will only work on rare basis...and this is why ->, January 10, 2010

This review is from: HDMI to Component Video + Stereo Audio AV Cable (Electronics)

This is a non-standard wiring setup. This setup has routed analog component video through an HDMI socket. HDMI devices normally accept HDMI with digital signals coming in; this cable is not compatible with those (about 99% of the devices). WHERE IT WILL WORK: With devices specifically made to accept an analog signal routed through an HDMI port. These devices are extremely rare, and if you have one, your user's manual will clearly state as much. Unfortunately, because there are a few such devices on the market, there are now "HDMI to Component" cables being marketed in various outlets, and the sellers of these products often do not appear to realize that they will work with only a very small, limited class of devices. Don't buy one just to try out; unless your manual says it will work, it WILL NOT.

I'm not sure what this cable is supposed to work with. I bought it to connected the HDMI output of a non-copyprotected digital video recorder to the component input of our TV. I was never able to get the TV to recognize any signal from the DVR using this. Although I was warned in person and on a couple of AV forums that this wouldn't work, I thought it would be worth a try given the low cost. I hope the vendor adds a more detailed description in the future stating what types of HDMI products this cable can work with.

1.0 out of 5 stars No way this could work..., January 20, 2009

On their main website it says this cable can be used to hook your *projector* to your TV. Now, pray tell, what would be the purpose of such a connection? (And I've not seen a projector with an HDMI *output* anyway.)

Lame. Due to the incompatible digital-analog signals (component is analog, HDMI is digital) there is no way this could work without some sort of conversion circuitry. Of course it *will* connect the HDMI and Component ports, they just won't work. ;)

Please save your hard earned money and look elsewhere for "magic."
