Simple question about a DVD player output
I have a Sanyo DVD player for which the only output is HDMA. I am trying to interface this with an older flat screen TV with RCA-only inputs. This TV is currently connected to a Set Top Box and its (RCA) audio cables feed into a receiver.
With this situation, I purchased the adapter shown below. Unfortunately, no instructions or documentation of any kind were included from this made-in-Chine adapter. My presumption was that the Red & White leads were audio (Right & Left, resp.) and he Yellow lead was for video.
If all 3 leads are video, how on earth can I tap the output for audio to send to the receiver?
Is anyone familiar with this adapter ??

Re: Simple question about a DVD player output
Yellow is the video, while red and white are analog audio. If you are going to a receiver with both the audio and video, you're done. If you are sending the video to a tv and the audio to a receiver, then you may need a couple of RCA barrel connectors and another audio cable to reach.

Re: Simple question about a DVD player output
Thanks for confirming my suspicion about this adapter TommyP. The TV and receiver are clustered fairly close together so no extensions will be necessary.
I will do the hookup as we've said and post back.

Re: Simple question about a DVD player output
You mean HDMI, right?
Don't most DVD players still have composite outputs? The max they can playback is 480p, so I would think a composite output, along with HDMI (presumably the player upscales to HD). Or did they drop everything buy HDMI like blu-ray players did?
