Best solution


My daughter has a game system that outputs analog only (audio left and right plus video). Her new TV (holiday gift) accepts HDMI in only. We can't replace the gaming system (long story).

Adding or finding a replacement TV with analog inputs possible might not be possible due to return logistics (and a second set seems like overkill here), so a few question follow:

Do AVRs typically allow HDMI out from an analog input signal?
Is there a reliable conversion component to insert between the game console and tv to get HDMI from the game system?
Is there another approach to consider?

TIA

I think receivers can make this conversion, but the results may vary. You can purchase converters as well, at least I think you can. Maybe something from monoprice or RadioShack. Is the goal a hifi system or the most cost efficient connection? You may end up with a 4:3 signal with the analog video. I think the audio will be much easier than the video side of this connection.
