| All I see is reviews for the downgrading of these "HDMI to whatever cables" and guess what? It isn't working because the TV or projetor your plugging into isn't HD! Thats why, not because of the quality of the cable but because of a lack of knowledge. People don't do the homework before making a purchase and rip THEMSELVES off. Shut up! |
Will only work on rare basis...and this is why ->

| 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. |
Doesn't make sense

| I agree with the other reviewers here that this product just doesn't make sense. Component video is analog, and HDMI is digital. Without some form of active analog to digital conversion, which this cable doesn't have because it's purely passive, there is no way this would work. The only reason I'm giving it two stars instead of one is that, being a good empirical engineer, I haven't tried it myself. But really, there is no way this could work the way it's actually configured now. If you're a better engineer than I and can explain why this would work, please leave me a comment, because I just don't get it. |
Doesn't work with my device

| 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. |
