Question: Can I connect a sony vaio hdmi to this and then to my "old" tv to play netfliz, Amazon Prime, etc.?
Document: Bought this item hoping to connect Apple TV to old Sony with no hdmi port. It doesn't work. Does work with my Roku. I gave this product two stars for not mentioning the incompatibility.
I needed the box to connect my apple tv to my big screen tv which has no hdmi input! although you need an outlet for the box ( no surprise there ) it is perfect  for converting the hdmi output!
This  HDMI to component converter does what it is supposed to do... turn a digital signal into an analog one. It works great!However, I was trying to use a ROKU box with an HDMI out and connect it to my old plasma tv with only a component in.
This unit is a good idea for tv's that are hdmi cappable but DO NOT HAVE HDMI  OUT CONNECTOR.It did not work for me on my 55&#34; phillips tv but through Amazon it was sinch returning it and being credited.
I bought this item because I don't have hdmi hookup on my tv and I wanted to stream from my tv. Unfortunately, this product didn't work. How disappointing.
I tried hooking my new HDMI blue ray player to this item and run component to my tv, because the hdmi port is broken. The sound worked but the screen was nothing but wavy lines. Do not by this device
I am using this device to connect my PC to an old HD tube TV that did not have an HDMI input. In my case, there are very few choices for resolution and occasional artifacts appear on the screen. However, the quality is satisfactory and I'm very glad I made the purchase.
A good looking component but when I tried to connect a new Sony Bluray player to an older non-hd with a component cable hookup all I got was a black screen. The advertisement led me to believe that this would convert the signal. The market for this device is to utilize newer equipment with older ones and it didn't do that.
I purchased this to connect a Media Center PC to an older Sony 3tube videoprojector. Most resolutions above 720p shake a lot. I was able to view blue ray, live TV From a ceton tuner but after testing a HDFury2 you Will notice a dramatic difference on your experience. Shipping abroad actually takes less time than most local shippments.
The converter is quite small which is great. Tips: First try out of box our apple iphones mirroring kept cutting out. We updated the boxes firmware, apples iTunes on our computer, etc. Once everything was current the cutting out on Mirroring was almost completely eliminated. Still happens occasionally but we mainly play music from iTunes on the computer and not the phones and that works well over our household wireless network.
Answer: Without know specifically the models of where you are originating a signal from and where the signal is going to, it is difficult to say yes.  Here is a link on the manufactures website to give better detail, http://www.kanexpro.com/item/?id=HDRGBRL.  The one part I do know, your "old" tv will need to have a component input.  As for your SONY, give me your model number and I will attempt to help.
