Pinout

Hi guys,
probably this has been asked before, but I don't know how to search the forum, so here it goes.
I have not been able to connect my notebook to the TV and I believe that it's because I don't have the right cable.
Does anyone of you know the pinout of the TV output?

I have a GRT915M ..

Thanks a lot.

Luciano,

Which cable do you have?

There's no search, Sony are making it as soon as they can.

Wow, that was a quick response !!
Thanks !

The cable has a four rings conector in one end and the standard composite + audio in the other end.

1st and 4th ring --> Audio
2nd ring --> Ground
3rd ring --> Video

What do you think?

Thanks again !!

You need one with Composite out to red, white and yellow.

Kee Lo,
that's what I have.
But I am not sure if it is wired correctly and that's why I posted which ring is connectet to which output.

The strange thing is this, if I plug the red and white cables to the video, I still get a blur image (why am I getting image from an audio signal !!!) ... My guess, the ground is not in the right place !

Do you have one of this cables, can you tell me how it is wired?

Thanks a lot!

Does sound like a dodgy cable to me.
I don't know of any which are grounded.
Usually it's just 3 phono type plugs at one end and the composite at the other end.

If I am getting video signal out of my audio RCA end, then something is wrong.

By any chance, do you have a that cable and a meter?
It is all I need.

Thanks.
