DVD player with scart connection

We have a Sony DVP-SR150, which is absolutely brilliant. It only has a Scart lead. We now have an HD-ready TV which has only HDMI ports available (we do also have the three socket red/yellow/white connectors on both, but that didn't work - we got sound but no picture.)

 

Will a simple Scart/hdmi cable make the player work properly with the TV ? If not - what will ?

No, Scart to composite didn't work at all, so we ordered a cheap Scart splitter cable with a switch.

That worked - though we had to set all the picture settings all over again for some reason. I think the switch is probably essential, to anyone else wt this issue.

 

Thanks for all your help - at least I didn't spend rather a lot more to buy a converter !

Hello @fuzzbucket,
