I am trying to convert a 2006 zenith portable TV to HDMI and Roku capability. I have connected the cables (red white yellow cords), the Roku has been connected and the blue light is on. The TV is working, but I cannot get it to sync with the Roku device. Help!
Could you tell us more? For example, are you using an old model Roku, or are you using a recent roku with some conversion device? Can you list all the device models in use? And could you describe “sync”? ie: are you seeing a picture but the horizontal or vertical hold is not locked on, or something else?
It is a 2006 Zenith Model RM-20LA70 Rev A, and a new ROKU Express device. I connected (from Amazon) a “Dingsun HDMI to RCA Converter HDMI to AV Adapter HDMI to Older TV”

The tv is just static
Here is the user manual for your TV.

Refer to pages 12-15. Basically, says to press the tv/video button on the remote to select the appropriate input (component). If you are getting static, you are likely on the antenna input. You will need to cycle through the inputs using the tv/video button on the Zenith tv remote until you see the Roku Home Screen. (or, if the Roku is not yet setup, you will see the Roku Welcome Screen).
What is the model number of the TV, and what is the model number of the Roku device you are trying to use.
Most likely, if you are using on the newer Roku device models, you will need a HDMI to AV converter like this one, just as an example. (Amazon link, HDMI to AV converter)
Generally, adapters will not work, needs to be a (signal) converter, and need to pay attention to the direction of signal. The converter needs to be HDMI to RCA, not RCA to HDMI.
