Heyy everyone! Hope we are all well!
Today i got a bit bored *lol* so i tried this out again, i have managed to get it working before but cant remember, the display i want to use is a stripped down Acoustic Solutions DVD-222 *ill post pics*.
What ive tried;
= Phono lead tested out on a Freeview box to make sure it works. it does.
= This nVidia Compupack thingiee, worked before.
= This other Compupack thingiee, kinda worked.
= Svideo to Phono lead, worked ish.

The thing that has confused me is that it worked before, bur not now :/

Thanks,
Daniel =)

EDIT; Hmm, it dont want to let me upload pictures for some reason, ill try tomorrow, sorry guys!!

EDIT2; the pics are on!! :) Okay, it fourth picture is how i connected it up, it goes; Adaptor > Svideo cable > Svideo to Phono adaptor > jumpers to Phono cable > into stripped down DVD player
