HD player conection to a PC monitor

by epons62 Aug 16, 2006 6:59PM PDT

I bought a HD Player:
http://cgi.ebay.es/3-5-Media-Player-Tv-Av-Vga-Hdd-Dvd-Vcd-Mp3-EN306TV-Eur_W0QQitemZ270018371717QQihZ017QQcategoryZ96894QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

and it?s working great with my tv, but I can?t manage to get it connected to a pc-monitor through a s-video to RGB cable: I plug the s-video terminal to the hdd, then the RGB female terminal (through an adapter which consist on a cable with two male parts) to the RGB line in of the monitor, but nothing happens ... Am I doing something wrong?

Thank you in advance!

I'm guessing that a tuner is needed.

The TV has one. The monitor does not.

Looking at the picture of the cable,,,

I'm guessing that you have to change the setup in this unit to send VGA and not S-video. Without the instuctions I'm just guessing. John

VGA

by epons62 Aug 17, 2006 4:48PM PDT

I achived in the video transmision, but I can?t get the sound from the hd:

-I get the video signal through VGA cable (and swithing the output, step I missed in my last post, from AV to s-video & VGA by pressing a button in the frontal panel)

-But there isn?t a mini-jack which was the output I expected to get the sound,so with this option I?m only capable of getting the video.

My question if there is or not an adapter to convert from A/V (red,white [sound] and yellow cables) to a mini-jack and a VGA. I?ve beeing looking for it and I found the "Avermedia TV" is it the only option or is there any other?

Thank you in advance!
