Hi,
I asked for a cable which would connect my laptop to TV. Basically
my laptops output would be tv's input.
My laptop has an S-video out. My TV doesn't have S-video.
This cable I got hold of has an S-video on one end and three RCA
cables (red, white & yellow) on the other end. Does this cable make
sense?. (I got it in an unknown local shop, which I suspect may have
cheated me.)
Please tell me how I can use these cable.
>From what I read all day today :
1) The S-video doesn't output any audio channels.
So, I wonder what that red & white cables are for???
May be the red and white cables are there just for no reason. May
be the yellow RCA has the video composite and the red and white are
just for cheating me. I tried the yellow RCA on my TV's composite
video in. Nothing worked.
2) The S-video gives component image.
So, do these three cables give component video. Like YUV or
something?. My TV does have support for component video. The manual
says so and I see a Red-green-blue RCA set for component video. So,
have they got the colors of this cable wrong?. In which case should I
try out all combinations to get my video.
I did try and gave up.
Please let me know if a simple S-video cable with red,white & yellow
RCA jacks at the other end is makes sense, how I am supposed to use
it.
Thanks
