This project should come with a hefty dose of warnings. Don't mess with CRT's unless you know what you are doing, they carry lethal voltages.....you have been warned!

They just connect everything externally...there is no danger unless your CRT is so old that it crumbles if you touch it.
This is a non article and a non project, basically hdmi to av adaptors exists is the whole content of this article.

'CRT is so old that it crumbles if you touch it'....precisely, CRT's are old by nature so who knows what state they are in. If you want to mess with 27000 volts be my guest.

"Know the risks before doing either: Risk of Electrocution: CRT monitors include a high voltage capacitor that can hold a charge long after being unplugged. The average color TV has 27,000 volts when fully charged, well over lethal level."

Having been hit by a crt. I would call it painful.
But people really do exsaturate for liability.
