HDMI is digital.  RCA is analog.  You cannot use a simple cable to convert the signal from digital to analog.  You will need to purchase a converter box for this setup to work.  Generally, you'll need an HDMI cable, Converter box, and RCA cables.

You'd have to buy an adapter like this HDMI to 3 RCA Cable , I don't know why the other said you coudn't, when they do sell them and I'm guessing they must work (I've never used one) or they'd have to be refunding their customers all day long.

I've read it will not work, as those cables were designed for things like projectors and appliances.

Well if you read that page it will tell you it does, what do you want me to say:  I believe what you read but not what I did, now does that make you happy?

No, I just want to make it clear that it might not work. Since you've never used those cables, you can't be certain they'll work. Perhaps they do, but you can't give a definitive answer.

 Here's some more info on the subject, looks like that cable is a scam.
