What you need is a new TV if you want the best answer. However, there are devices that take HDMI "in" and [may] output composite or component video. I say "may" because the conversion of HDMI to composite will likely look awful. If you buy a device from, for example, Amazon and you are a Prime member and buy a Prime product, at least you will be able to return it without hassle. I hate to break it to you, but, seriously, if your TV is so old that it has composite video and analog audio, you really owe it to yourself to replace the old TV with a new state of the art model -- Best Buy is your "best friend" in helping you get one of these new TVs -- and they will even send the Geek Squad to set it up for you for about $150. This is NOT the unit to buy and attempt to downconvert to a TV this old. Hopefully I've not said something to upset you, but I am telling you the truth. You NEED a new TV to fully appreciate this X800 unit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It needs to be hooked up by HDMI. No reason to buy this if your tv does not support 4K HDR
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The only way to take full advantage of the new Sony 4K player is to connect with a High Speed HDMI 2.0 cable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you don't want to upgrade your TV, get a DVD player, not a Blu-ray player. You won't see any difference and there's no reason to spend the extra money.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you do not have an HDMI input on your TV and only composite in. Then you wont be getting the 4k definition that this player can produce. It might be time to upgrade your TV. There are cables for HDMI to composite. But, I think they are only 1080 to composite. There are converter boxes but still, older TVs cannot produce 4K clarity. Hope this helps.
