How about the audio? Does this cable pass thru Dolby Digital?

Only stereo gets passed through my tv to my sound bar. Others have said in reviews that it does if you connect the hdmi out straight to a receiver but Idon’t have one to test that but I don’t think it truly does.

Does it work on xbox one s and how do you hook it up?

It only works with the original Xbox console. the one from 2001. It doesn't work on the Xbox One S.

Flickering screen black to Xbox

Are you saying that this is what happens to you? Or are you saying that you're worried that this might happen? Well it works perfectly fine so if it does happen check the connection reboot the Xbox or try a different input or try a different output all together like a computer monitor or laptop that has HDMI or see if there's a special setting on your TV that needs to be set to Old School settings like 4x3 or turn off HDR because maybe it's trying to push it too hard and it can't go that far because all it is is taking an old signal and bringing it to a modern TV it's not enhancing it in any way to my knowledge

Some kaico adapters (Dreamcast) only display 4:3 picture. Can the Xbox kaico adapter display 16:9 picture?

Mine displays 4:3 on 480p and 720p content and not 16:9 like my pound cable did. Both of these adapters use the same garbage analog to digital converter chip, which means too much noise in the image and even odd incompatibilities not present in the HD AV Pack. Pairing this with the mClassic fixes the 4:3 issue but doesn’t address the noise that these HDMI adapters produce.

T**L

was going give it 4 stars but

this works for all tvs but will not work with any monitors. you will get a purple tint for using a monitor with hdmi. wish they would make a hdmi that works with monitors & had audio out port for headsets / speakers. but it works and will buy a back up cable cause i did hear these guys go in a year or sooner! it also comes with a long hdmi cable which was nice!

Besser geht’s nicht

Habe zuvor andere Varianten für die Xbox Classic probiert und endlich ein Gerät gefunden was wirklich sehr gute Bild Qualität bietet. Hier hat man (in meinen Fall auf 55 Zoll tv) ein sehr gutes Bild ohne Kontrast reiche Störungen , oder das es zu dunkel ist oder das Bild regelrecht hinter hängt .. mit den kaico Konverter ist schlicht und einfach perfekt

日本人のレビューがないので

今まで初代XBOXで遊ぶときはUSBminiB端子で給電しながら使う安い変換器を使用していましたが、こちらの変換器に交換したら驚くほど画質が良くなりました。私は鉄騎(最高画質480p)と鉄騎対戦(最高画質720p)しかプレイしておりませんが、どちらとも今まで滲んで見えなかった部分が見えるようになったり照準が鮮明に見えるようになりました。(写真違う画面で申し訳ない) もし私のように安い変換器を使っているのであれば強くオススメしたいです! 少々お高いですが...払う価値があります!! 光デジタルは使っていないので分かりません...

Una maravilla cómo se ve

Después de probar otros productos que prometían mucho a bajo coste, he descubierto que este tipo de producto tiene un coste. Funciona muy bien. Calidad, nitidez, buen sonido y ninguna interferencia ni problema de audio ni vídeo de momento. Empleado en una xbox original placa 1.4 (suelen dar problemas con estos adaptadores) y va perfecto de momento. Un acierto.
