How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton HDMI to RCA Composite Video Adapter with Audio (F/3xF)
Follow these simple steps to set up your HDMI to RCA adapter:
Step 1: Connect the HDMI source to the adapter’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable. Ensure your source device is powered on and set to a video output mode compatible with HDMI.

Step 3: Power on your TV or monitor and select the input that corresponds to the RCA connections. Power on the HDMI source if it isn’t already running.
Step 4: If you don’t see a picture or hear audio, double-check cable connections, ensure you’re using the correct TV input, and verify that the HDMI source is actively sending a signal. Some displays may require adjusting settings or trying a different HDMI port on the source device.
Tip: For best results, use high-quality HDMI and RCA cables to minimize signal degradation and interference, especially if you’re routing signals over longer distances or through multiple adapters or splitters.
