Old TV and new Home Theater system: my nightmare. I need help!

[Cristina M]

Hello everybody

I hope this is the right section of the forum to post this in, and I need to start by saying that I'm pathetically ignorant when it comes to pretty much anything techie that is newer than 10 years.

We just bought a new LG Home Theater System (BH9431PW) for various reasons, which I was very excited about being a tv/movie maniac. Even though I was of the opinion we should do something about our 2001 TV first, we still went ahead and purchased the home theater. Now we are left with a TV that probably and most likely isn't compatible.

We've been able to connect the two RCA audio cables from the TV into the LG HT, which gives us a little bit of a sound "oomph", but we've made no progress video wise.

I realize this is probably a very ridiculous question, but I'll ask anyway... Is there ANY way to make this work? Short of getting a new TV, of course.

Here is a picture of the back of the TV:

Here is a picture of the back of the HT (bit blurry, sorry):

Feel free to laugh at me all you want, but if there is a crazy/obscure solution, I'd love to hear it. I've heard of RCA HDMI converters, but it's all greek to me.
Thank you very much in advance.

Cristina M.

Your tv only appears to have analog inputs and the HT only has HDMI for the picture which is digital. While you can spend money on a digital to analog converter (hdmi to svideo) box the money is better invested in a new tv.

A converter like this one:

is not too expensive for a temporary fix.
