I think I’m going to upgrade deck with a dvd and add a sub. Goal is to get tv to play through new deck and sound to come out of new speakers and sub. Seems the only output option for video is old red white yellow. No one seems to make hdmi OUT. I was hoping to play dvd through deck into tv. How is everyone achieving this?
I could use AC dvd to tv but that’s lame to use extra gear. Could use a tv with built in dvd but that really limits options for buying cheap used tv.
Are you saying you're going to swap out the radio/dvd player in the RV or are you going to buy a separate receiver/BluRay player?
Red/white/yellow is component which is an old standard. HDMI is the latest standard and really there are mulitiple HDMI cables are there. If you really want a hi-def capable system you would need HDMI 2.0, with 2.1 coming on soon. It should be able to pass deep color, which would make a difference in how the tvlooks (assuming you have a tv capable to reproducing the latest hi-def standards).
You're probably better off with some sort of HDMI switcher (available cheap from Monoprice.com) and a BluRay player to the tv. A small high quality receiver would be a nice upgrade as well. The receiver would likely have hdmi switching built in.
