HELP NEEDED connecting DVD/surround sound system and a new smart tv.

[JELLY FISH]

I have an old pioneer DVD/surround sound system and a new smart tv. The Pioneer player is pre hdmi sockets so I have a choice of scart lead to converter box then hdmi lead from converter box to tv which I have tried with no success at all! Or use of the yellow component lead from optical output yellow socket point on DVD to tv. When I have done this I only manage to get a black and white picture! PLEASE HELP AND ADVISE ME AS I REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!!

This article -- http/hdmihero.co.uk/theres-no-such-thing-as-a-scart-to-hdmi-cable/ says that a cable won't do what you need BUT it does point to one of these -- http/www.amazon.co.uk/SCART-HDMI-converter-convert-connect/dp/B0092IAA3I which could do what you want. There are other versions of a SCART to HDMI scaler.

The converter I bought from Amazon was this one: https/www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00V0A1GAW/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
but as I said when I have plugged the scart from the DVD into this and a new HDMI to HDMI cable from the TV into the HDMI socket on this converter nothing is happening!???? Any ideas?

There are a few different configurations that the SCART can be configured -- http/docs.pioneer.eu/Manuals/XV_DV313_XRB3023_manual/ page 61
I wonder if the SCART config needs to be tweaked.

Thanks I will check this out and let you know how I get on.

No it was not this as I tried all the configurations available. I have come to the conclusion that it was a faulty converter box, so am returning.
However, with the help of a friend I have been able to use the component lead and have managed to receive a colour picture for both DVDs played on my pioneer DVD player and for games played on the Wii! The solution was to unplug all other component leads and to only have those that are needed plugged in at one time. Hope this helps others who may experience similar problems.
