387834	2005-09-12 02:23:00	I got a 6600GT from legend and it has 3 ports at the back. 1) usual monitor out port 2) similar as no.1 but different, rectangular shape 3) s-video out maybe? rounded shape Anyway all i got was this funny cable. on one end it can fit into port 3, and on the other end it has 5 fittings! red, blue, green, yellow, and a slightly bigger black one. the red, blue, green and yellow can connect to the cords that go into the tv or vcr's AV ports. (usually white, yellow and red) Im just :confused: confused over what i can do with this cable and what i can connect to it. I tried connecting my xbox av ports into it but I dont know how to get a display on my monitor. It didn't come with any software. I tried a vivo driver thing from nvidia but it just thought i had 2 monitors. any ideas ppl? thanks!! james	jamesyboi (6579)

The red, blue and green plugs are for a RGB monitor. Although they will fit the AV sockets on your TV or VCR (they are just RCA connectors) this is not recommended. These are the three video components. The white and red sockets on your VCR are audio inputs. Video will sound terrible. The yellow plug will be "composite video", and this one is OK to plug into your TV or VCR's yellow socket. The "slightly larger" black one will probably be an S-video connector. (Has it got 4 pins?). The big rectangular socket is a DVI one. That's the New Generation computer video connector.	Graham L (2)
387836	2005-09-12 03:19:00	umm... ok.... it has 4 holes for pins. so yea i guess so (black one) so what can i acutlaly do with it?	jamesyboi (6579)
387837	2005-09-12 03:30:00	Of course, because it's a replacement for a socket which would be on that panel if there was room, it's a socket. So will be the RCA connectors. With an S-video cable, you could plug in a VCR, TV or other device or display which has an S-video input. You might be able to take the outputs of such devices. You do say it's a "TV-in/out" cord, but is it a TV in/out card? It might be just a computer video card, with TV compatible output. I don't know. It's your card. ;) What you need are a manual and some software. :cool:	Graham L (2)

387839	2005-09-12 03:42:00	ok the black fitting is the same as the s-video on the back of my vcr/dvd player Oh just realised there is no white fitting, just green blue red yellow and black	jamesyboi (6579)
