It's the old first Xbox, doesn't have HDMI. I happy with my Denon, that doesn't have HDMI, only component. Yes the converters are 100% component to HDMI and not HDMI to component. I need component to HDMI 100%. I think that has covered all questions
I'm looking at component to HDMI converters now.
Some say it support 'HDCP 1.3' where as others support only 'HDCP 1.2'. What does this mean, and ultimately does it make a difference to the picture quality please? This is all I need to know please. I've googled HDCP but still don't understand if this affects the picture or not?
Keen to buy asap, but want to be sure what this means, and if it affects picture quality? If it does I will get the HDCP 1.3 but this is double the price so would really like to know if it makes a different. If anyone can answer this specific question please, Id be most grateful.
Wow that's really old. Pre HDMI a few sources and displays had HD outputs with component output with analogue audio with stereo only outputs, Very old sub Full-HD displays could only use component and the associated analogue stereo inputs
Component could do HD, but as it could be copied hdmi was introduced which meant that HD outputs from component were removed.
Of course it will affect both video and audio quality.
Your amp is so far outdated and you are trying to use a TV with more than 4 times the resolution of the output of your box, it will never work.
To use your new TV at lest to get a half decent picture and audio you need at least. one of these :
A source with at least a full-HD source with a HDMI-output,, FVP-HD-Box Terrestrial aeria) , Freesat+box, (dish), a HD games console etc. or a blu-ray player.
A DVD player will give higher quality than SD TV sources,
The TV has both satellite and aerial inputs that can provide Full-HD -inputs.
To watch 4K content you need a internet connection with a download speed fast enough to match the quality of the content.
Frankly how you can expect to watch a such an old games console with a high end TV is expecting a lot.
The kit to make this possible will likely cost as much as a replacement games console,
However it is possible to get a Wii console to work with a crap picture on a C9 TV.
1 With a high end AV receiver with a HDMi aux input (tested with a Denon AVR-X7200-WA (original price circa £2000,00) plus a HDCP-1.4 to 2.0 active converter.
Frankly the cost of the items means you should simply get a new games console.
