How to Convert HDMI to RCA
Nowadays, most consumer electronic devices support the HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output for video and image downloads. Before HDMI became popular in the electronic industry, RCA connectors (yellow, white, and red cables) were primarily used to connect DVD players, video game consoles, and set top boxes to televisions or monitors. A common issue for consumers is converting their HDMI devices to RCA cable inputs in order for them to play on older television sets or monitors.
How to Convert HDMI to RCA
Step 1 – Search for an HDMI to RCA converter at a local electronics store or online. The output that the HDMI format will be converted to will determine the type of converter needed. The more complex converters will have outputs for S Video, Composite, as well as the classic RCA video and audio output cables from the device.
Step 2 – Connect the video converter to a power source (such as a wall socket or power strip).
Step 3 – Connect the HDMI cable from the device that only produces HDMI output to the HDMI input plug on the converter.
Step 4 – Connect the Red and White audio cables to the RCA audio outputs on the converter then connect to the television.
Step 5 – Connect the Yellow video cable from the video converter output to the tv’s video input.
Step 6 – Change the television channel to the one that the converter requires (normally channel 3 or 4 for televisions that do not support the “input” function) or press the “Input” button on the remote control (if supported) to view the video from the device on the television.

You have to enable the second monitor in your display properties (you need to see two screens), and send the picture to the TV in a resolution it is capable of displaying which should be noted in your TV’s manuals if not on the box or the TV itself. If it’s a FullHD TV that should be 1920×1080.
I connect my HDMI from laptop to plasma tv.there’s visual but no sound.please advise
You might need to route sound separately. You can get a minijack to RCA cable and connect that from your laptops sound out to your TV RCA input. Sometimes HDMI doesn’t handle sound for some reason (PS3 is the same for example).
I have purchased a HDMI to RCA cable when i am plugging one end i.e HDMI Cable port to my Computer HDMI input and another end in TV, but there is no signal. it is not woking please suggest me some option to run from my computer HDMI port to TV RCA.
Sometimes the TV has multiple RCA ports and not all will work for the AV signal. Are you sure you plugged into the right ones? Also did you check all modes? If it’s still not working HDMI output might not be enabled on your computer.
I tried using an HDMI to RCA converter to send video signal from my Dell XPS 17 laptop to a television. The desktop extends to the televsion but only in a very fuzzy black & white picture. I tried using all available resolutions on my laptop and the same problem persists. I have tried using the HDMI to HDMI and it works perfectly so it’s not the laptop’s video card or the tv. I need to use the converter for business purposes since I have multiple video displays with RCA inputs. Am I missing something or is it likely the converter is defective?
will a HDMI to Composite 3RCA work if I’m trying to hook up an rca enable device to my hdmi tv
is there an hdmi storage drive that can store videos and audio files?
To my knowledge the HDMI interface caries digital signal. The RCA interface requires analog signal. Therefore you need the digital to analog converter to transfer the digital signal to analog
