From: Paashaas on 26 Jul 2010 08:44 Hello, I have this Philips CM8833 Monitor (the first model) which has a CVBS-input. If I connect it to the yellow cinch of a standard monitor cable, the colors are messy. I cannot put the chroma cinch in it, which probably causes the messy colors. The monitor has an scart input though as well as another round shaped input which says TTL-RGB. Check out http://www.amiga-hardware.com/display_photos/CM8833monitor04.jpg for an image. Which cable do I need to get a good image? Thanks, Jarno

Unfortunately I am totally not into building electronics stuff; I'm afraid even building a simple cable is too complicated for me. So, would this cable do the job you think? http://www.vesalia.de/e_c64kabel[4636].htm (the Commodore 64 Monitor Cable CVBAS one). > That said, building a new cable is probably easier - but possibly more > expensive, as DIN plugs have become a bit of a niche market. >

No, the "Commodore 64 Monitor Cable Y/C" one. Bill

Sorry, my bad. I got confused by the conversion diagrams. Bill |
