Annoying

Some daft bint wants to send back the BR player she bought from me on eBay because it doesn’t have a SCART output (despite full input / output info provided). Presumably she has a TV from the 1980s!

Is there a cheap cable solution that downscales a nice HDMI signal to a crappy SCART tv, so I can propose this as solution?

Found this but not sure if it is designed to convert the other way as SCART is labels as the input

Thanks

But i would imagine you will then need to provide said Bint with a hdmi cable a scart cable and a 5v power supply to power it.
Looking at the reviews some scaling issues with the device, so maybe it will just been another problem for you to sort out.

Ok thanks - I won’t share the link but suggest it as a solution along with getting a new TV and/or a life smile
