[QUOTE="pmk, post: 12647"] The 4 pin converter is outputing an SVIDEO signal so your TV needs to be switch to SVIDEO mode otherwise you will get no colour. You can buy an SVIDEO to Composite converter lead this is probably what you are using. As this is converting an SVIDEO signal to Composite it will probably not be as good using the Composite signal directly. To get proper composite output from your ATI card you need a 7 pin converter plug. This uses the composite signal outputted from the graphics card on one of the middle pins. It comes with the higher end ATI cards but I have no idea where you buy them separately in the UK as I need one myself. If you find where to buy one for a reasonable price please post to this thread. You could probably make one yourself but the trouble is finding a 7 pin plug with the ofset pins. For pin outs see this site: [url]http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/radeon-tv-out/[/url] (scroll down a bit to section 2 for explanation confirming above) ATI Shop -> Accessories [url]http://shop.ati.com/product.asp?sku=2538012[/url] This looks like the one I used to have but can't be 100% sure. As the card broke it has been RMA'd. HTH [/QUOTE]
