It should be RGB like to an arcade monitor. I don't think you'l be able to hook it up straight away. Check this link out for cables http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/4198/Video_Cables_RGB_Cables.html

You might have to do a scart to arcade rgb hack. Check out the pc2jamma site for the circuit needed. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

HELP ME!!!!!

your sit downs have rptv so your input is red/green/blue/sinc(prob a yellow lead) so therefore all you should need are 4 bnc leads connected into a scart plug-bit of a job but 2morrow i am at an arcade in malaga and i will check the inputs again,i am guessing that you have either mitsubishi or toshiba projectors.if you let me know what type screen you have then i will see what that 9 pin plug does exactly,but whatever all you need is the pin out of that 9 pin and the pin out of a scart-should be really easy,then you just need a switch box because you dont want more than one signal at a time-by the way read a few of your posts and i think you are insane

cheers for that grant,
the projector is a toshiba and only has the one port which is a 9 pin and it says rgb in on top of it......
pls do let me know what and how i need to do this......

thank you for your help...

sorry did not get the info today as i had two frame collapses and sod of a sensor fault on a lost world so i ran out of time but tomorrow i have to look at a wartran which has a toshiba so i will check out the connectors and let you know what i find.

Harpal · « **Reply #9 on:** February 03, 2006, 09:39:18 pm »

pls do let me know soon as you find out.....

thank you

well i have looked at my toshiba rptv`s and neither have a 9 pin plug on them,one is vga type the other is bnc-where is this plug? on the back or front,also what model do you have ,perhaps there could be a pinout of that plug on the net somewhere-sorry i cant be of more help.

Hi,

HELP

all i can do is tell you how an engineer would tackle this problem without a circuit diagram,the 9 pin socket will have wires from the monitor going to it,nearly always wiring colours are standard green/blue/red/black/white or yellow these wires denote your red/green/blue/common and sinc-using a meter i would trace these wires to see if they have continuity to the game monitor wiring-if you dont know how to use a meter than your knackered im afraid.once you attained the correct connections its just a case of going to maplins and buying a scart plug,a bit of cable and your 9 pin plug then a bit of soldering and bingo sorted.
otherwise i need more info like the toshiba model no.
you should be able to remove that panel without too much difficulty-have a look see how many wires are connected to the 9 pin and what colours they are.
once you have made your correct lead you then need to make a switch box to switch between game and dvd,but please get me more info what you are trying to do should be easy.

i want to conect my all my games consoles to it(xbox,360,ps2 etc) plus my sky digital box and watch movies of it oh and latly my dvd player, i will try to take a look and see what wires there are behind the 9 pin socket....

Harpal · « **Reply #15 on:** February 09, 2006, 08:33:19 pm »

i saw a 9pin to 15pin monitor cable today,
would anyone know if i be able to use that to conect this monitor....

Hey,

the problem is that not all 9pin RGB connectors are wired the same - I've come across some weird ones in the past. And if its old, it may even use TTL signal which would need converting before you can stick standard analogue RGB out of it. You may also need to ensure you are using the right voltage levels (I am not familiar with what these projectors want.)

You posted earlier that the projector only has 1 socket. Could you get a pic of this? Also, could you post the model number of the projector, this would help the most. Did the whole unit come with a manual?

Harpal · « **Reply #17 on:** February 10, 2006, 10:50:57 am »

i didnt get a manula with it, but got mostly everything els, i look all over for a model number and cant find it, there is some japanese writting on the back which i dont understand....

Silver · « **Reply #18 on:** February 10, 2006, 04:04:28 pm »

No english writing on the projector at all? There may underneath it if it can be moved easily...

the thing weights 150kg but i will try and see as i have mates around today helping me repair the alien 3 the gun cab i just purchase....

urgent help guys, i got the 9pin to 15pin lead and as i couldnt wait for the tv tuner i desided to conect the monitor to my laptop and when i switch the main screen to the monitor,, i heard some thing go pop like a little light and it all just went off, and then i could smell some thing burnt, pls help me out and let me know what the hell i just did wrong here and his my monitor dead now....

Silver · « **Reply #21 on:** February 11, 2006, 10:35:45 pm »

Well the off-the-shelf 9pin to 15pin is probably not wired correctly for your rear projection monitor, so something has probably shorted/fed incorrectly. Seeing as somethings blown (could be a capacitor, could be worse) you'll need to take it apart to repair (or take for repair).

grantspain · « **Reply #22 on:** February 12, 2006, 07:13:05 am »

well sounds like you have blown a cap on the signal input circuit,first thing you should do is check to see if your game reconnected works ok.if your monitor has blown and you need it repaired talk to Tony at deith leisure,you can find contact details on their web site-he will probably tell what lead you need to do dvd thing as well.he is a good guy and will try to help but i think this is gonna cost you.
