Important notes

• On circuit diagrams, plugs are displayed as viewed from the back side, the solder side. Chips are displayed as viewed from above; also, see the small semicircular cut for finding the correct orientation. When in doubt, see the corresponding description on the legend page.

Construction

You need the following parts to build this cable:

• One solderable 8-pin male DIN plug

• Four solderable male RCA plugs, preferably, in red, black, yellow and white colors

• Four shielded 1-wire cables of, preferably, at most 2 meters each; the impendance should be 75 Ohm but an audio cable should also work

Step 1. Solder one end of each cable onto the DIN plug.

Step 2. Solder the other ends of the cables onto the tip of each of the four RCA plugs. You should have the following connections:

   DIN plug    
   RCA plug    

 1, Luminance  
    Black      

 3, Audio Out  
    White      

 4, Video Out  
    Yellow     

 6, Chrominance
     Red       

Step 3. Connect pin 2 (GND) of the DIN plug to the outer ring of all four RCA plugs.
