Output cable for portable DVD player

Feb 05, 2013 10 Replies

I have a Sylvania portable DVD player. The instructions mention a cable so that the player can be connected to the composite input of a TV. The plug n eeds to have 4 connection points, and fit a miniature sized jack. The conne ctions are common (most likely the shield), composite video, right, and lef t audio.



I have checked Sylvania's website, and several other sites, but cannot find one. Any suggestions of where I might find something like this?



Thanks,

What connector? Your description is useless. Post the model number, or a link to a photo of the connector if you want help.

Is it a 3.5mm jack with 4 segments?

I have cables of this sort for both a Sony pocket LCD TV and a Polaroid-branded DVD player. I believe this sort of cable is more or less standardized. That worst that can happen is that you'll have to experiment to figure out what-goes-where. No big deal.

Here's one. I'm sure you'll be able to find others -- with a little effort and common sense.

3.5mm? Check the signals order with the following

Then look on eBay for a cable compatible with what's mentioned. If it's the first, then a 3.5mm cable for Archos, Gigabeat, Creative Zen Vision Series, Cown iAudio, Apple iBook will do.

I'm surprised pin 2 is the ground on most of these, as you'd expect that the shield would be easier to connect to pin 1.

I have the jacks but it still don't, come on
