- Probably your difficulty is that you are trying to plug the RF out of the
- VCR to the Mitsubishi. I have exactly such a monitor, and this confounded
- me for a while. You must use composite out to plug into the BNC connector
- on the Diamondscan (At least the AUM-1381a.) This is typically labelled as
- "video out" on most VCR's, and is embodied in an RCA phono-type jack. You
- will probably have to buy an adaptor that does phono to BNC (Radio Shack has
- them,) or build your own cable.
