Bronze Member Username: Jgz91354Post Number: 12 Registered: May-05 | I have a 32" RCA TV that has an S-video input and a composite(RCA) input. I have a receiver that only has a composite(RCA) monitor out. The composite input on the TV is broken, but the S-video works fine. I got an S-video to RCA converter from Radio Shack, but I am unable get any video from the receiver. Receiver(composite output) <==converter==> TV(S-video input). Is there any cheap way to get this to work? Thanks, Jim |
