Hi all,

I am trying to work out if this setup will work with my Beovision 7 type 9344.

What I want to do is connect up my existing DVD player, it only has one HDMI port and my TV. Initially I have connected the two up to my DVI port with a DVI-HDMI cable and it works just fine for the picture, but no sound.  

To fix this I am thinking to use a AV to HDMI Converter (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AV-to-HDMI-Converter-For-HDTV-1080P-PS2-PS3-SKY-720P-RCA-Composite-Adapter-NEW/264554180370?var=564302232932) and a Triple 3 x Phono Cable Audio Composite Video RCA Lead (https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triple-3-x-Phono-Cable-Audio-Composite-Video-RCA-Lead-RED-WHITE-YELLOW-OFC/351533796156?var=620574683105). 

Connecting the DVD players HDMI port to this device and on the other side connect the rca to the tv ports (Attached is a shot of my TV ports) 

Does anyone know if this will work or a better way and sorry if this has been asked before.

My TV is a  Beovision 7 type 9344. If you need anything more please let me know.

 

Many Thanks Paul

DVI only carries video, and not audio, hence your lack of sound.  The converters that you list are likely to reduce picture quality.

In a similar set (but with BV6), I use one of these:

Yep as I said. Most DVD have audio out and these go to AV4.

Interested as why not using the onboard one though, is it faulty?
