| 314553 | 2005-01-15 21:38:00 | I have recently been given a couple of old amiga A500s? without monitors. I know absolutly nothing about amigas, is it possible to get adaptors (read cheaply) for them so I can use them with an old pc monitor or a tv (preferably the pc monitor) as I'm guessing there aren't any amiga monitors around anymore (in my price range) Anyhelp would be appreciated Thanks Nigel |

| 314555 | 2005-01-15 22:03:00 | You can either... Repin the video output on the amiga, buy/find a converter (scan doubler) or just use a TV. Later model amigas had the converters installed from factory but not the A500. |

| 314556 | 2005-01-15 23:29:00 | They use an RGB connection. The RCA inputs can be used as a monitor for a video/dvd, well anything that has RCA for video out. I have the 1084s here and the cable. | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 314557 | 2005-01-15 23:49:00 | I may sound a little obtuse here but RCA leads are the same as AV leads right? if I have some av leads I can just hook it up to a tv using the av ports (red yellow and white) or am I totally off the track thanks |

| 314558 | 2005-01-16 00:08:00 | Yup, RCA cables are the same as AV leads. BUT the RCA sockets on an Amiga monitor are for input NOT output... 1 RCA for video (the video comes from a source like DVD/VCR - NOT from the monitor out to another input like RCA input on a TV). The other 2 RCAs for right/left channels, for sound. |
