Title: PC Engine LT AV input
Post by: hoobs88 on September 27, 2007, 03:14:00 AM
I recently purchased a PC Engine LT and noticed a headphone jack with "AV input" written next to it. I think this means you could probably use the screen on the LT to watch DVD's or even plug another video game console into and play on. Can anyone confirm this or know where to get such a cable?

yes!

or know where to get such a cable?

that's a hard one to get nowadays. but  i think you can use a normal stereo jack for audio and video. but don't ask me on which pin the A or V is set. try'n'error :)

It probably takes a special three-tiered jack, though I can't be certain.  Most Sony equipment these days comes with such a cable, but again I am not certain that this would be a proper cable.

If its a earphone jack like the Turbo Express Turbo Vision, then you can just use a stereo earphone male to left and right/red & white RCA(?) female or male connection.

I used to try out CD games on my TE to see what they'd look like on the small screen.

Did that cable come with the Turbo Vision? I have tried several other iPod cables and none of them work for the video portion.

it's rare, but some plugs have more than 2 connectors; in this case, it might be video, as well as L and R audio.
