Connecting Blu Ray DVD to older receiver

[rlarsonAudio]

How do I connect a new DVD player to an older receiver with RCA plug inputs? The DVD player i just bought has no audio out jacks, only hdmi and digital coax outputs.

Didn't you look at what it had, before you brought it?

Get an HDMI to RCA cable

Or you can just convert the audio with this

No, I couldn't imagine a piece of hardware having so few output jacks. My situation is more complicated than your simple answer.

whats complicated about it. HDMI and RCA at the other end. Connect it thats it

HDMI is digital video and audio,
RCA connections are analog video and audio.
A simple cable can't do the conversion. Passive cables are for specific non standard applications not general use.
There are some active cables that contain the conversion chips and are powered via the HDMI.

Thanks. The converter you recommended looks like it would solve my problem. I need to find one in the US now.
