Ntsc 3.58 Or Ntsc 4.43.

[Nero182]

How do I test my TV to see if it is NTSC 3.58 OR NTSC 4.43.?

[MD]

By reading the manual or the manufactuers PDF file which most makers have online if you look hard enough.

Well I got hacks for my DVD Player so it could play American Dvds and it Plays the American DVD just has good has the UK ones. So would this be the same with a NSTC Xbox?

[charlesr]

Not necessarily. The DVD player might be outputting in pal60 (ntsc4.43).
You could check the specification for the dvd player as well as the TV.

Easily - you buy an RGB cable (called Advanced SCART cable - for Xbrick)

You can get one anywhere like HMV, Game etc or if you want to order online this cheap 3rd party version does the job:

RGB format bypasses PAL/NTSC colour encoding, plug the cable into AV1 port of your TV and set the channel to AV1.

Just to be sure I have RGB I found this in the Back of the Manueal it tells you what each Pin does. Ok Here we go

Pin 5 - Blue Earth
Pin 7 - Blue In
Pin 9 - Green Earth
Pin 11 - Green In
Pin 13 - Red Earth
Pin 15 Red In

So what do I plug in to them 3 Slots on the Apdater?

[Treble]

That's a composite phono connection - do you not have a 21 pin SCART socket on the back of the TV?

[Saurian]

Dont understand what you mean man - just buy an RGB cable.

It's just 1 SCART connector that plugs into your AV port - RGB SCART pinouts are a standard, that pinout you just wrote is the same as every TV with an RGB enabled SCART socket.

THIS:


GOES IN HERE:


You should be using RGB on all your devices.

[Treble]

Actually, sounds like he's thinking of a phono-SCART adapter: three phono into a scart adapter.

[Nero182]

Yeh it is 21 Pin I am just sayin if that has anything to do with it.

[Nero182]

Got it now I put the Red White and Yellow in to the Colour COde Ports and put one end in the xbox and the other in the 21 Pin Scart in the Back of my TV

[Saurian]

No.

You just plug the RGB SCART connector into your TV, switch to AV1 and you are sorted.

You do not have to plug in anything else - SCART is a 21 pin connector which carries colour, video and audio + voltages to switch your TV to the correct mode.

The phono AV output from an RGB cable is an optional extra (connecting a 2nd screen or connecting audio to another device)

You should be using RGB as standard on all your devices - composite video is a complete waste of equipment.

So Would I need to buy a Nstc Xbox and Get the Cable from the States are could I just get one for a NSTC Xbox In the UK

And SHould I have RGB

[Salsa Party Animal]

You can buy the cable in UK and a meaty step down transformer is necessary.
