That said, there are different types of HDMI converters, so you will need to determine which type you need. Check out the ports on the back/side of your television.

These can be anything from a coaxial input, a DVI input, composite cables, or one of many other options. A coax input looks like a threaded screw.

Composite inputs are three ports for red, white, and yellow cables. A DVI input looks like what older computer monitors used to connect. Plug the HDMI cable into the PS4 and the other end into the HDMI converter.

Plug the relevant cables into the converter (in this example, composite cables) and the other end into the television. Switch your television to the proper input and turn on the PS4. If you see the Sony logo on screen, then you know it worked.

You might not always need a converter. Some third-party companies produce HDMI-to-composite cables that do not use a converter.

You should also be able to avoid loss of audio or low-quality audio like you would experience with an HDMI to composite converter. DVI doesn&#39;t typically carry any audio signal, so this is a bit of a hit or miss solution. Plug the HDMI cable into the PS4 and then plug the other end into the DVI converter.

Plug the DVI cable into the converter and then plug the other end of the DVI cable into the display or television. Switch your display to the proper input and turn on the PS4. If you see the Sony logo, then it worked.

Turn up the volume and test whether sound comes through. If neither of these methods work, consider purchasing a new television. HDMI-compatible TVs have dropped in price and can be purchased for as little as $20 through second-hand retail outlets like Craigslist or via the Facebook marketplace.
