Hello,
I have just acquired a Sony STR-DA2400ES receiver and I have a Topfield TF5800 PVR. The receiver has the ability to convert component and composite video to HMDI but I’m a little confused as to what I can do with the kit I have.
The Topfield has composite and Scart out but no component. This link shows the back panel:

TF5800 online manual
I’ve heard composite is crap so I’d like to be able to use the component inputs on the receiver but obviously I don’t have a component out on the Topfield so I want to know if I can use these cables to convert the signal to the receiver:
Scart to 3 RCA Phono RGB video cable 1.5M gold plated plugs OFC component
I’ve heard that you need a converter box to convert Scart to component so I'm not sure if these cables will work. The manual of the receiver shows how it can convert to HDMI on page 32 here:

The component sockets are red, green and blue like the cables so it looks like it would work but goes against everything I've read so far.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks
