I'm trying to connect a 32" Samsung Smart TV to a Samsung VHS recorder/DVD player. What cable do I need?

[Guest]

I believe I need an HDMI cable going into the TV from the VHS recorder/DVD player. Is that correct?

Yes.

Yes.

ThatVietGuy - does such a cable exist? We have a similar problem (Visio Smart TV and Sony DVD/VHS player) but a person at Radio Shack told there is no such cable.

 

[ThatVietGuy]

Well, is there an HDMI output on the DVD/VHS player?

No, which is why we are trying to find a cable with red/yellow/white on one end and HDMI on the other. IF such a cable exists, where can one be found. And thank you for any help.

There is no cable that will do that. You'll have to buy a converter box like this: http/www.amazon.com/Composite-HDMI-Converter-Scaler-720p/sim/B00284T0QG/2

Whether the quality is any good, I don't know because I haven't had to use them.
