Title: 1084S Audio Cabels
Post by: sim085 on April 02, 2009, 08:18:10 AM

Hello,

I still have not bought the audio cables for my 1084S monitor. Yesterday I went to check the back of the monitor and found that this has four audio connectors. However my A500+ only has two audio connectors!

So do I have to buy a 4-by-2 connector? Or I still buy a 2-by-2 connector and the other 2 connectors on the 1084S I leave them for something else?

Regards,
Sim085

It's only two audio connectors.  The other two are video connectors (luma and chroma) - I think this is even printed on the back.

Thank you very much for the reply. The manual I have is in German so I did not even look into that since I do not understand the language. What are those two connectors used for then? To attach a video device to the monitor? ... that would be interesting ;)

vcr, dvbt thru rgb
cameras, dvd, consoles thru s-video
8bit consoles thru video in cinch

It's a normal European language which hardly differs from English. Using a dictionary shouldn't be too difficult to use.
Btw. the luma/chroma inputs accept the same luma/chroma signals of s-video. Also there is (or should be) a switch to be able to display a composite video signal on the luma input of the monitor.

Yeah, I use C1084 as TV too. There's CVBS/RGB switch in front panel where I can choose if I use A1200 or TV. TV signal came earlier from VCR, but nowadays from DVB-T box.
