So i was given an old tv



pretty much never been used fresh outta the box

the back is like this...


only rca & component plugs......

So i am trying to hook a LG Blu Ray Player with usb to the tv. The Blu Ray Player is HDMI only.



I brought this to hook it up

I just want this in my empty room to watch stuff off of my Toshiba 1TB hard drive.

i don't see why that adapter wouldn't work, but this should work too... LINK


have you tried other video rca components, like an old dvd player, to see if those work? i don't know if the tv rca inputs could be bad or not, i wouldn't think so, but i'd try another device with rca cables and see if that works.

It doesn’t work because it’s only a one way converter. Your input is the blu ray player, so you need a converter that has the hdmi as the input and the component connection as the output.

This one would work LINK
