As the owner of an old home theater that is not compatible with recent TVs, I purchased a Speaka Pro converter (SCART to HDMI) which I connected to my TV via SCART (home theater) and HDMI (TV). However, I have no sound or image. The TV works with the latest Orange box. If anyone can help... thank you...

    Good evening,
    It is indeed this converter.
    My TV is a recent Philips HDMI (2) and the home theater is an old Panasonic 5.1, its HT/500.
    The TV works with an Orange box.
    Good evening,

    My TV is a Philips 7373 series... thanks again... I connected the converter to the TV (HDMI cable) and to the home theater (scart cable). Sound with DVD, but no picture and no sound on the home theater with just the TV turned on...

    Okay for the Panasonic SA HT500

    However, I would prefer the full model number of the television (see label on the back)
    As for the converter, I’m afraid it may only be PAL/NTSC but incompatible with the French Secam standards
    Here’s a model from the same manufacturer, SpeaKa Professional AV Converter SP-HD/SC-01, which is listed as Secam compatible

    Hello,
    The references are:
    Model no. 50PUS7303/12
    Serial no. FZ3A1902075507
    The advisor at Conrad recommended this item to me.
    Thank you.

    The advisor at Conrad recommended this article to me
    Which article did he recommend to you?
    The model you have, SP-HD/SC-02 or the one I just gave you the link to at Conrad: the SP-HD/SC-01?

    This SCART to HDMI converter was supposed to solve the issue of sending images (and sound) from the Panasonic to the television
    although sound in that direction is already managed by the home cinema.
    However, it cannot transmit sound from the television to the home cinema.
    If we want the home cinema to transmit sound when the television is displaying channels provided by the Orange TV box
    then we need an audio cable (3.5mm jack/RCA) between the headphone output of the television and the audio input of the home cinema.

    Your television has a YUV component input (3.5mm video jack)
    Another way to transmit the image from the home cinema to the television would be to use a SCART to YUV adapter to connect with the 3.5mm video jack/RCA cable that was provided with the television

    Hello, thank you for all this information... I will try using the audio cable (3.5mm jack/RCA) first. I'll keep you updated this evening. The most important thing for me is to have the TV sound through the home theater. Have a nice day.

      The sound from the TV through the home theater
      so, as mentioned above, you need a 3.5mm audio cable to RCA

    Ok for the audio cable... I just tried... no sound... headphone output is at max... the jack must be plugged into the headphone output of the TV, right? I connected my headphones to the headphone output of the TV and there’s no sound... is there a setting on the TV? .. thanks..

      Yes, the jack must be properly connected to the headphone jack

      Before connecting the headphones to the headphone jack, do you have sound from the television speakers?
      I don't know if using it cuts off the TV speakers (the TV manual doesn't mention it)
      What is your headphone model?

      Next, where did you connect the red and white RCA plugs on the Panasonic?
      Did you select these inputs as the source on the Panasonic?

    Yes, absolutely I have sound on the TV... tried with Beyerdynamic DT 240 Pro then low-end Sony...
    Connections plugged into the back of the Panasonic... (audio output)...

      and no sound on either headset when connected to the TV's headphone jack?
      Was the jack fully inserted?

      Connections plugged in at the back of the Panasonic...(audio output).... Uh!!?
      The sound is provided by the TV, so you need to connect to the audio input of the Panasonic?

    Absolutely no sound at all... on the Pana I don't have any other sockets... well... I might look into getting a next-generation home cinema... the headphone jack might be defective... for now, I'll put it on hold... sorry for the inconvenience... and thanks again...

    .I don't have any other inputs on the Pana.

    I can still see two sets of RCA IN jacks (on the left when viewed from the back)
    A group VCR audio in Aux (R-L) and TV audio in (R-L). Right?

      I have been in the same situation and I solved the problem quite easily with HDMI and RCA adapters.
