Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 270 Registered: Oct-10 | I have an Atari 2600 and I'm gonna hook it up in my truck. The problem is, the atari has a single "rca" output for audio and video. I can hook the atari up to my house T.V. just fine, because I have a converter to change that lil rca plug into a coax and plug into my cable reciever in my tv. However, my truck's screen only has RCA , 3.5mm, and IPOD inputs. I might have some more stashed behind it, but I don't want to take it out Does anyone know how to hook up the atari to RCA video? Does a 3.5mm jack carry video? or just audio? Can I just another converter to go from coax-to-RCA after going from "rca"-to-coax ? Any input is greatly appreciated |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 272 Registered: Oct-10 | Thanks. It looks like by the picture I will have to get an adapter to go from the Atari to COAX then plug the coax into the rf mod. Then run RCA from mod to monitor. Does this sound accurate? Have you done this before? |

Silver Member Username: MakinblakMonroe/Monticello, La/Ar Post Number: 307 Registered: Oct-10 | So the RF modulator has RCA input with COAX output. I NEED COAX INPUT WITH RCA OUTPUT. Any info on this? Has anyone heard of an RF de-modulator? |

Silver Member Username: TedsprogzNunya, Florida US Post Number: 120 Registered: Aug-05 | http://www.ambery.com/cocatvtorcav.html its called a tuner, but as a general device, yes its a demodulator. |
