Re: hdmi to composite av adapter.

You say you bought an HDMI to composite adapter, but what you would need would be a composite to HDMI adapter.  (ie: these gadgets tend to be unidirectional.)  It might make sense to just buy a more modern player instead. Blu Ray players came out in 2006, so I wouldn’t be surprised if old ones are already showing up at Goodwill stores.

Re: hdmi to composite av adapter.

My 50" TCL Roku TV has a small yellow "AV IN" port.  Are you sure yours doesn't?  It requires a special cable which I don't believe they supply in the box.

Something like this:

Otherwise you need a Composite-to-HDMI converter as @Strega mentioned.  Something like this:
