Hi!
Can you elaborate on what you need the RCA connections for?
It seems most budget Blu-Ray players do not come with RCA output (I expect it helps keep the cost down).
Lots of options on eBay though.
Personally I use Pioneer players and there are lots on eBay with the connections you need.

Hi Messiah
Thanks for the reply. What I was hoping to find is a new Blu-Ray player that has RCA output for under £150.
Think the only option will be a second hand machine.
Although someone did say you can get a box of tricks to convert HDMI to RCA.
Will check out eBay

Where picture quality is concerned, it doesn't have to be a Blu-ray player does it?
RCA can carry only component or composite video signals, so any Blu-ray advantage is lost.
The point being that any old standard DVD player with RCA video output would suit your purpose......wouldn't it?
(I never watch films, but I presume Blu-ray discs are backwards compatible to play on standard DVD players - don't know why I presume that, since nobody should really want to do it 🤪).

Don't think so Gray, you'd need a blu-ray player to play a blu-ray disc. However, blu-ray players can play DVDs, but can't play 4K UHD discs.
Not the ones I've got 🙂 If you want DVD, that's a disc, if you want blu-ray, that's another disc, if you want 3D that's another disc, and if you want 4K, that's another disc 🙂
UHD players play the lot then.
UHD, HD, SD DVD and CD.

Generally Panasonic Blurays have RCA. I have there older flagship model with RCAs but even newer cheaper one tend to have them.
Also as @Messiah said, Pioneer player also have them.

Presumably, if the OP is specifically asking for RCA I'm guessing his amp is analogue only, unless you can get a digital cable one end and RCA the other end.
We're thinking he wants composite or component video from his RCA socket(s)
(He hasn't actually said, but mentions a 'cinema project' in the first post).

Until he comes back and gives us more info, we're left in limbo in terms of advice.
