You would need a converter something like this http/www.amazon.com/Wayzon-White-Composite-Converter-Blue-ray/dp/B00JGGV1VG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1421944340&sr=1-1&keywords=hdmi+to+rca+converter&pebp=1421944349589&peasin=B00JGGV1VG

Keep in mind you'll also need an hdmi cable and an rca cable or a VGA cable and an rca cable.

Just an FYI:

You will probably be able to find a cable with RCA on one end and HDMI on the other on ebay. These are bogus products and will not work. Some things like dvi and hdmi use the same data format so you can make a cable that just moves the pin locations around; but most everything else will need a box that converts the signal from one format to another.

Yep, just found this out! bought a cable that has HDMI on one end, and RCA audio / video and VGA plug, it did not work. Go figure. I tried using it for audio to my theater system and also RCA to tv, nothing.
