Viewing and listening to movies, shows, and music on a home theater system can be an immersive experience. With the continuing advancement of technology, most modern home theater systems have HDMI connections for use with LED TVs.

But what if you have an older home theater system without HDMI? Can you still use it with a modern LED TV?

The short answer is yes. Most older home theater systems don’t have HDMI connections, but they may have other types of connections that will work with LED TVs.

Firstly, if your old home theater system has composite video ports (the red, white, and yellow ports), you can use them to connect your TV to your home theater system. This connection will only give you standard definition video quality, however.

If you want higher quality video, then check to see if your old home theater system has component video ports (the red, blue, green and sometimes white ports). This type of connection will give you high definition video quality without needing an HDMI connection. But bear in mind that unless your old home theater system is equipped with an HD upscaler or a built-in HD decoder (or both) then it won’t be able to output high definition audio or video signals over the component connection.

Conclusion:

So while it is possible to use an old home theater system without HDMI for LED TV’s through composite or component connections , keep in mind that this may not give the best viewing experience depending on the capabilities of the older equipment. It is always best to check the specifications first before attempting any hardware connections.
