Connecting HDMI to non HDMI TV

[powderpuff]

Going to post this here since it's the current Home Theater thread.

Was reading up on Pioneer Elite Blu Ray players & happened across this product.

Some of you might be interested.

For running a HDMI signal to a non HDMI monitor.

For a different topic, a new thread is preferable.

The digitalised video part of the HDMI signal is the same as the DVI so only HDMI - DVI cable or an adapter will be required if the TV has a DVI input.

for an older Toshiba LCD in my bedroom, works great for the picture, but need to run audio cables for sound

So you didn't really read my link did you?

I was discussing something for the home theater enthusiast.

It has some upscaling features & some audio options.

I have read the link, with a degree of incredulity.

How can a non-hdmi tv display at that kind of resolution?

It is like connecting an ancient computer monitor to the latest graphics card

and expecting hi-res images?
