Here they are.....

It does have a VGA connector (the one with the 3 rows of holes).

So maybe a component to VGA adaptor will solve your issues

(blushing) I did not know that was a VGA connection. Cheers boet, that's another thing I have learnt this weekend!

from a little poking around on the internet it seems you need one of these expansion boards...

Hi guys
Just an update here. A friend of mine who is a high level techie dropped by to say hi today and I asked him to look at my set up. He took the Mede8er and ran the HDMI cable to the HDMI IN slot on the receiver and then ran a single video cable from the Mede8er to the GAME VIDEO slot on the receiver. We adjusted the audio on the Mede8er to HDMI and voila! We got both sound through my HT system and video on the non HD screen!

Lol so simple 

[KenMasters]

So you're using the composite connection.

[Daniel Weston]

Just the video cable on the composite side of the Mede8er and that cable runs into the video input on the receiver under the GAME section.
