We have a big old CRT TV in our basement.  It has the classic 4x3 aspect ratio, standard coaxial cable inputs, plus alternative LEFT/RIGHT/VIDEO inputs.

I was wondering if it would be possible to hook up a Roku Smart Soundbar to this old TV via an hdmi-to-VGA adapter.  Would I get any picture at all?  Would the sound come through the Soundbar?  Has anyone tried anything like this before? 

Thanks.

Hi @AnchorBond,

Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!

We'd like to take a closer look into this inquiry that you have. May we know which Roku soundbar you are referring to? Are you referring to a Roku TV wireless soundbar, or are you referring to a Roku streambar?

You may also check out this support article here on how to set up your Roku Streambar SE or Roku Streambar with a non-Roku TV system.

We'll wait for your response, and hopefully this helps.

All the best,

John
