Very ignorant question... Sorry...
OK, I cannot the first person to get frustrated by this. I have two related problems:
1) New DVD / blue ray player and old TV
2) New DVD / blue ray player and old Sound System...
As you know, almost all new DVD players are small, thin -- and have ONLY an HDMI output. That is great - if you have a new TV...
I have an older TV in one room, and in another I have an older stereo sound system. Can I use an HDMI to RCA cable, and will this solve my problem?? I initially had a hard time finding them, but is this what I need?

Thanks!

OK, to expand the revelation of my ignorance, why would this cable have 5 RCA outputs??? Thanks...

That means something like this:
