595943 2007-09-28 05:01:00 I think you need an S RGA cable or something. We had exactly the same problem the other night after we disconnected SKY and reconnected the DVD to the TV. My wife solved the problem fairly quickly. winmacguy (3367)
595944 2007-09-28 05:18:00 s rga ? never heard that ableton (8802)
595945 2007-09-28 05:23:00 s rga ? never heard that

It might be RCA but it definitely is an S cable.

595946 2007-09-28 05:23:00 Did u change the tv to the AV channel the RCA plug was connected to?

And select TV out thru the driver settings?

If there are settings?

595948 2007-09-28 07:25:00 SOLVED!

For all you guys who have same issues try this:

After intense search on web i found this solution, what happens with this 7-pin s-video basicly 3 out of 7 pins are useless, so i did some surgery.

1. From your male 7-pin s-video connector connect only 2 of them (soldering required hehe) to the RCA center pin (the 2 pins to connect are the left and the right on the top where is 3 pins)
2. From the bottom row where are 4 pins connect only the far left and the far right to the ground of the RCA.

Thats it..worked fine with colors.

to help you (where X you connect)

X0X = CONNECT THOSE "X" to center pin of RCA
X00X = CONNECT THOSE "X" to ground of RCA
