Hi
I have just bought a Tatung Einstein TC-01 with TM-01 colour monitor. Although it was advertised as working, the monitor is not working, I just get blue on blue output from the TC-01, so I guess that the R&G channels are faulty in some way.
The Monitor has a selector switch for YUV/RGB analogue or RGB TTL and the TC-01 can be selected internally between YUV or RGB analogue.
To prove that the TC-01 was working, I wanted to make up a cable to take the video output to a TV, so I made up a cable to connect the YUV output to the component inputs of my TV, however, my TV reports "Invalid Format" when the component input is selected. I have checked my cable and the TC-01 video configuration, so it looks like the component output is either faulty or not compatible with my TV.
Is anyone here using a TC-01 with component output to a TV? Is there anything special about the required cable?
On a more positive note, I was able to make up an RGB cable and get the RGB output working with the SCART (RGB) input on the same TV.
I'm probably going to be out of luck with the TM-01 monitor, I've not got any experience trying to repair monitors, but I'll probably give it a go at some point.
(Yes, I know about dangers)
regards
Dave
