RCA Svideo to HDMI Converter, Support 4 : 3/16 : 9 Aspect Ratio Switch, 720P/1080P HDMI Output Switch, S-video AV RCA to HDMI converter for VHS/DVD/Wii/PS1/PS2/N64/NGC to Display on HDMI Screen

I had to unplug the S-Video Cable from the DVD Side of the VCR / DVD Combo Player to get the VHS Side to respond and then reinsert the S-Video Cable again. After that, both the DVD and the VCR worked as desired. I purchased two of these devices and had to do the same thing on both of my VCR / DVD Players to get them to work properly. Nice device to solve older technology connection problems with newer style 4K UHD Smart TV's.

I thought My old CLD-909 LD was done. The video was dropping out after a few minutes of play. So I traded up for a nice DVL-919. Nope. Turned out the analog video section of my old Onkyo TX-SR805 was failing. The HDMI inputs still work fine. So after long search this gizmo fixed the prob. Read complaints most of these convertors just stretch/distort to 16:9 & don't have the option to output 4:3. This solved the problem at a reasonable price. Video is not perfect but my new U8H does a good job of displaying the old format & the 7.1 THX sounds great.

Setup with this product was quick and easy. I suspect one of the reviews for this product failed to read the instructions. Unlike some similar products listed, this one has a double function display button. You click it quickly to toggle between 1080 or 720 resolution. You click and hold for two seconds to toggle between various aspect ratios (4:3, 16:9 etc.) Also, FYI, the S-Video cable only delivers the video signal so I needed to attach the RCA Audio cables as well. In about 5 minutes, I was watching DVD's from my old DVD player which only has S-Video and RCA outputs, to a new HDTV that has only HDMI inputs.

I had a laserdisc player that had S-Video outputs that I needed to connect to a newer HDMI-Only TV set. This worked pretty good and gave some options for the conversions. However, the TV still letter-boxed the image and I couldn't figure out how to balance the picture size and image quality. This worked but I was left wondering if a higher end unit would have done a better job.

I love that this adapter offers different aspect ratios, and setup is extremely easy, but the HDMI image is significantly darker than the original signal. I haven't tried out the S-video capabilities yet, but I'm guessing I'd need a male-to-male S-video adapter to use it with a game console, since the input is a male end.

This SVHS to HDMI converter supports3 aspect ratiosFull (stretch’s image to Full)Original (4x3)3rd one, right in between the two.There is one button to press to switchFrom 1920x1080 to 720A short press to go from one to the otherA long press about 2 seconds to cycle through theAspect ratios.The device is usb powered. I recommend using a PCAnd not electric so as not to overpower the deviceAnd possibly cause issues.You connect the SVHS to the output of the device you are using. (DVD or Laser Disc Player)Then you connect the HDMI out on the device to your TV or device that you will be watching the video on.Works beautifully right out of the box.

Have a dvd /vhs player from 90’s . YES!! Still works and I couldn’t give up on it! With all technology hookups that have changed. This! Came Thru for me!! I bought a new Roku, and within 15 mins .. I was able to view dvd/vhs quality was fine , sound was great! .., Thank God! We can still turn to CH 3 for viewing pleasure.. LOL

Works as expected, would purchase again if needed. This works only one way, S video to HDMI. There are other devices that are available for the reverse, HDMI to S Video.
