1. Introduction
The Wonlyus HDMI to RCA Converter is designed to convert a digital HDMI video signal into a standard-definition analog AV (3RCA CVBs composite video and L/R stereo audio) signal. This allows modern HDMI-enabled devices to connect to older televisions, projectors, or monitors that only have RCA (yellow, white, red) input ports.
Important Note: This converter supports HDMI to RCA conversion only. It cannot be used as an RCA to HDMI converter.
2. Safety Information
- Ensure the device is powered by a stable 5V/1A USB power source.
- Do not expose the converter to water, moisture, or extreme temperatures.

5. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to connect your HDMI source to an RCA-enabled display:
- Connect HDMI Source: Plug your HDMI source device (e.g., TV Stick, PC, Laptop, Xbox, Apple TV) into the HDMI input port of the Wonlyus converter.
- Connect RCA Output: Connect the yellow RCA cable to the CVBS (video) input of your TV/display. Connect the white RCA cable to the L (left audio) input and the red RCA cable to the R (right audio) input of your TV/display.
- Provide Power: Connect the provided USB power cable to the converter's USB/Power port. Then, plug the other end of the USB cable into a 5V/1A USB power adapter (not included) or a USB port on your TV/device that provides sufficient power. The converter MUST BE POWERED FIRST OF ALL to function correctly.
- Select TV Input: On your television or display, select the correct input source (usually labeled AV, Composite, or Video) that corresponds to where you connected the RCA cables.
- Adjust Video Format (if needed): If your TV displays a black and white picture or no picture, use the NTSC/PAL switch on the converter to select the appropriate video format for your region (NTSC for North America, PAL for most other regions).

6. Operating Instructions
Once all connections are made and the converter is powered, operate your devices as usual:

- Ensure your display is set to the correct AV/Composite input channel.

7. Troubleshooting
- No Picture/Black Screen:
- Ensure all cables (HDMI, RCA, USB power) are securely connected.
- Verify the converter is receiving power from the USB cable. The power indicator light should be on.
- Check that your TV/display is set to the correct AV/Composite input channel.
- Try toggling the NTSC/PAL switch on the converter.
- Black and White Picture:
- This usually indicates an incorrect video format. Toggle the NTSC/PAL switch on the converter to the other setting.
- Distorted/Poor Quality Picture:
- Ensure the HDMI input resolution from your source device is not exceeding 1080P.
- Check for damaged cables. Try using different HDMI or RCA cables if available.
- Ensure the USB power supply is stable and sufficient (5V/1A).
If problems persist after following these steps, please contact Wonlyus customer service for assistance.
