What component to HDMI converter do I buy

[joelland]

I have an old Rotel RDV-1040 / old Onkyo receiver TXDS575x / New samsung 9000 TV.
What component to HDHI convert do I buy. I looked on Amazon and many to choose from. Thank you for your Help.

Hey,

You should use a HDMI Switch. You should go with a cheap one. There is no need for an expensive one.
Something like this: https/www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HD1831-3-Port-Switch-Pigtail/dp/B008GVOVK0/ref=sr_1_3?s=audio-video-accessories&ie=UTF8&qid=1488287841&sr=1-3&keywords=hdmi+switch

You would need an adapter similar to this
https/www.amazon.co.uk/Neet-Component-Converter-Supports-Lifetime/dp/B002C7CCJ6/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1488290715&sr=1-6&keywords=component%2Bto%2Bhdmi&th=1
This will let you connect the DVD player to the TV and then you can run the "Optical out" from the DVD to the "Optical in" on the receiver.
The only problem might be with audio sync
You can also get adapters that convert component and sdpif to HDMI
https/www.amazon.co.uk/VeLLBox-Converter-Component-Digital-Universal/dp/B01CZMF78K
This would send both the video and audio signal to the TV then you could use the "Optical out" on the TV to the "Optical in" on the receiver.
This would be my preferred option.
