| I can assure you when switch 1 and 2 are set to on and the x2vga+ power is off the audio input becomes composite video output, you will just have to use a cable that has rca on one end and microphone type jack on the other end, like the ones that come with camcorders. |
Yep, you're right.. (I assumed there was no support for composite AV because of the connection type on the VGA box). And I admit I didnt read the instructions =)
I tried the AV cable that came with my camcorder as you suggested.
It is a standard "3.5mm - 3 RCA" type cable. E.g. Red/White (Audio) and Yellow (Video) cable.
I plugged the 3.5mm connection into the VGA box and the video (yellow) connection to the TV - but it didn't work.
I then tried another cable ("3.5mm - 2 RCA"). This time it worked!
I compared the 2 cables and recall reading somewhere that you can tell the difference between a stereo and mono cable by the 3.5mm connection. E.g the stereo connections have 2 horizontal lines across the connection of the plug and the mono cables have only one.
Anyway, I noticed that the AV cable that came with my camcorder had 3 horizontal lines (i assume the extra one was for the video).
I decided to replug the cable that came with the camcorder again (but this time, with the Red (audio) connection). Still no luck.
I then tried the white cable and voila - it worked!
(If you're going to use a "3.5mm - 3RCA" cable, try using the red and white connections if it doesn't work. Eg. dont assume "yellow" is for video).
Hope this helps someone.
Cheers
