- Video out is a composite video output source; composite meaning composed of
- the red, green, AND blue signals all on one wire. (an RGB cable seperates
- each of the colors). RF out combines all the colors AND sound, in a much
- more inneficient way. Think of it like this: Remember that thing you plug
- into your sega genesis, and then you screw it onto the cable jack of your
- TV? That's RF. You could take the old cable from your genesis, and hook it
- to the A520 "RF out" and then screw that bitch to a TV set and be up and
- running.
-
-
- Now, did you ever see, say, a Sony PLaystation? It doesn't come with
- anything to hook to a TV set normally. It just comes with two RCA style
- jackies, one for video, one for audio. You have the same sort of jacks on the
- back of your VCR (audio in, video in, audio out video out). The "Video Out"
- port on the A520 exports JUST the video, and the audio comes from the
- amiga's built in audio ports. The video port is generally a more stable
- picture, use it if you have the capabilities..
-
- oh yeah also if you're gonna use the RF out port, you need to find
- that black Y-cable that came with your A520. Hook the two ended sides into
- the left-right audio output, and then put the other side into the "audio in"
- port on the A520. otherwise you'll get no sound from your TV.
