Connecting Camcorders and Gaming Devices
Customers attempting to connect an analog peripheral device to a brand new digital television are left in an awkward predicament on account of an incompatibility issue.
EXAMPLES of analog video peripheral devices
- Game consoles (i.e. PS1, PS2, PS3, Xbox, Nintendo, etc.)
- Older Cable/Satellite set-top-box decoders
- VHS VCR (video cassette recorders)
- Legacy DVD Players
- Camcorders
Legacy televisions
LG Electronics last attempt at providing an option goes back to 2012 TV product line-up as shown below from model 55LS5700 owner manual.
Regrettably, the analog audio video gender input connection option was dropped to make room for more HDMI & USB ports at the back and side of Digital televisions.

Scouring the Internet searching “audio video cable to hdmi converter" brought up some 3rd party sponsored similar products such as this apparatus, an audio video analog signal converter kit to HDMI.

This is not an LG ELECTRONICS product and does not endorse the purchase or use of this product. This option is offered merely as a suggestion at the risk and expense of the customer.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Ensuing poor picture quality issues on account of the extremely low picture resolution being fed to the television is in no way a reflection of the digital display product.
DID YOU KNOW?
- Stereophonic broadcast sound was introduced in televisions in 1984 with the venue of industry standard adoption of MTS (multi-channel television stereo) sound.
- Composite (CVBS) audio video input/output jacks were first introduced in the mid-eighties to accommodate stereo VCR (video cassette recorder) as most manufacturers were reluctant at duplicating MTS chip and royalty payment for both TV & VCR.
- Do note there is severe resolution limitation from any video source output through composite video and as such, as TV screen sizes are getting larger and larger featuring Full HD resolution, the picture appearing on screen will appear rather flawed as there is so much video processing the television can do to improve low resolution video signal.
