How to use this dvd player screen?

[oniak]

Its got an av in jack on the side that Im not sure how to use, nor could I get a good picture of. Its a single jack though.

Not very descriptive are we? It doesn't have "Composite" connections on it. It has one jack labeled Av-in, looks almost like a headphone jack.

You buy a 3.5mm to rca adapter :

I want av in...not out?

*sigh*

You plug that into the a/v in jack and then the rca's into a dvd player and guess what plays on the screen?

What, hail? He's looking for something with female RCAs and then the four pin headphone.

 

[oniak]

I don't mind taking the player apart and soldering to make some sort of composite jacks.

OMG he never said what he was plugging into it or what he planned to do. What I showed was the standard AV plug that comes with all DVD Players that have AV in.

But OK :

 

[oniak]

Well...what do people on mod retro, usually use screens for
I'm sure you know the answer haha.
I don't particularly want to buy a cable though.

Then open that puppy up and see if the board near the av in is labeled, some are.

 

[snowpenguin]

It doesn't even need to be labeled. It's standard.

SS already linked you to a pinout for this.

That was ages ago when I didn't actually own this dvd player and wasn't allowed to take it apart, I've since lost the link

Yeah it has 3 solder points from the av in jack on the board.

 

[oniak]

Would like to figure this out soon...

I found a pinout

I have 2 accounts on benheck, I use endrien on other forums and accidentally logged into the wrong account .
Theres only three pins on the av jack, I'd assume one for yellow, one for red and one for white.

 

[snowpenguin]

There's only three pins on yours? Are you sure it's even av not headphone?

 

[hailrazer]

Might be mono sound. I had one like that.

Clearly states "AV IN" right by the jack.
