I just have to wait for my new TV to turn up. It was in stock when I ordered it in the sale at Pixmania, then it suddenly became out of stock. Of course all the prices have gone up now, so I'll just have to wait until they restock it :-( That sounds like a decent plan. I just have to wait for my new TV to turn up.

You should be able to use the 3 RCA connectors (Audio L and R and composite video) for the 3 video components, although without sound obviously. If this works (you may need to try different permutations of the 3 RCA video signals to get the picture looking right) then you'll need to get another identical cable to use on the AV OUT to extract the left and right audio signals. @Simon: Try using the cable you use for the AV OUT with the component output.

A while ago I bought a Media Enclosure, A50FW which has a number of different output connections. I’m currently using the plug socket marked ‘AV Out’ with a lead that goes to composite video and stereo audio. There is also a jack socket marked YPbPr. Is there a lead available that would allow me to connect this to the component video input of a TV?

They couldn’t help. Have you ever seen such a connector?

Thanks

(and Happy New Year BTW!)

I once had some trouble trying to figure out how to connect my laptop to my CRT TV that didn't have an S-Video input. Turns out, I found a cable that outputs from the laptop via S-Video and inputs to the TV on a Composite video connector. Maybe my TV is a little old, but I've got the switch the resolution to 800 x 60 px each time I wanted a movie to fit the screen entirely. Good post.
