You need more than just a cable. You need a device to convert the Digital Signal from the HDMI to an analogue signal that is the RCA input.

There is a wide range of prices for boxes that will do this. Some are good, some are better and price is not always the determinant. If you can, test a device or try somebody elses before you buy.
