problems with my Sony Wega Coaxial Input

samsagaz · 28th September 2004, 04:59 PM

hey guys, someone know if is possible to convert Coaxial Cable input to S-Video Input?

i mean, my sony TV dont work. i just can connect stuff to the S-Video Input. if i connect any stuff to the Coaxial Input or RCA Input (A/V), the image is without color and flick. if i connect for example an DVD using the s-video it works perfectly. so i want to watch my "coaxial cable channels" but just can connect it to my S-Video, someone know if its possible?

thanks

hope someone understand me (my english sux)

hmm sound like your TV is not the same system as your cable provider. There are 2 main systems - PAL and NTSC. NTSC is mostly in north america, and in japan if im not mistaken. And Pal is pretty much everywhere else (theres a system very similar to it, SECAM, its somewhere out there too...)

thanks for answer me, but ur wrong, thats not the problems.
it was working in the past. Now dont work for PSX, VHS, Cable.. everything that i connect to the RCA or CABLE Input dont work.

Just work all that i connect to svideo

hmm.. it really does sound like a pal/ntsc problem. Is your tv multi system? cuz if so, maybe your tv's Format autodetect is broken. I dont know much about TVs... You could pass everything through a computer, you'll need a TV tuner, and a video card with s-video TV out. Thus - everything through s-video. Have you called sony?

well they want to charge me like 300 U$S for fixed it

lol, damn! wait why is this in this forum?
well, the only way I can think of without seeing whats up, is to use a PC.

If you found a VCR with s-vdeo out than you could just hook it up through that and use the channel buttons on the vcr to change the channel. Wouldnt that work?

yes, thats right, but those VCRs are more rare and expensive... Usually SVHS vcr's and some dvd/vcr combos. It should work!
