5-pin DIN to RCA conversion?

Hodgie · 23rd January 2011, 05:20 AM

Hi all,

I suspect this has been asked before, but I couldn't find a thread that exactly answered the question, so here goes.

I have an older Philips FM tuner in nice timber case - model 22GH927 - only lightweight but fits nicely witha similar timber cased Phodis amp I have just cleaned up.

Issue is, Philips comes with 5-pin DIN cable, whilst the amp takes RCA plugs.

Is it feasible to cut the end off the DIN cable, and re-wire one end to RCA plugs?

If yes, what should I look for when I do cut the cable (I'm assuming I will see 5 wires rather than 2?) and how can I make sure I get both channels connected correctly to the RCAs?

Final question - is it worth doing this at all? I can buy a 5-pin DIN cable that terminates in 4 RCA plugs - I assume this will work OK if I only use 2 of the RCA plugs?

ANy advice appreciated.

Cheers,

Hodgie

Thanks Karsten - that's exactly what I'm looking for, and I was able to get one locally ....at a real bricks-and-mortar, staffed-by-real people, stock-on-the-shelf electronics store in the next town!
Many thanks, Hodgie
