ADVANTAGES of RCA to HDMI Converter

• Used to connect older devices which only have RCA connections to a TV using one of it's HDMI inputs
• Could be used if you have no RCA connections on your TV either

DISADVANTAGES of RCA to HDMI Converter

• RCA to HDMI only gives a passive connection, so turning on a DVD player, for example, will not automatically switch the television to the corresponding AV input
• You need to manually change the source or AV input on the TV to the correct HDMI input
• In most cases, the power from the USB port of your TV or AV equipment should be enough to power the device
  • Sometimes though, an external power source will be required and we offer this as an optional purchase
  • If you are not sure, we recommend buying the power supply along with the RCA to HDMI converter
  • As the saying goes, you're better looking at it then looking for it
  • This would be needed in the case that your TV doesn't have free USB ports for example
• This RCA to HDMI converter cannot work in reverse ie.. HDMI to RCA
• Obviously you will not get a full HD quality picture from the HDMI output
• The adapter only converts & upscales it
• You cannot magically turn it into a 1080p full HD quality picture
• Never buy RCA to HDMI cables. A powered version like this will always work better
