The agonizing tale of getting an old TV to work. Part 2.

Continued from Part 1.

The parts arrived, everything was plugged in ready to go. However something was different.  The RF Adapter was different to that in the image and the coaxial part of the Adapter was more modern. (smaller).
Modern Coaxial Port

Old Coaxial Cord
So I went to JAYCAR, and asked for something to connect the two. At first they though that wouldn't be possible, but after showing them the images of the cords. It was actually possible to connect the two.

So I went home, plugged every thing up and turned on the switch.

But it wasn't working. Nothing was speaking to each other. Even the vs I grabbed wasn't working. I went back and followed all the tutorials and nothing was showing up. But before I gave up. I tested the HDMI adapter on a modern TV. And it didn't work. So It wasn't the TV's fault. I even called it as the TV's static changed when I plugged in everything.

So I had an idea.

I new the old TV could work as once upon a time I played the Play Station 2 on that TV, so I told my parents to pick up the box I had stored it in.

So when they brought it up I spent a few hours fiddling with stuff, till finally, FINALLY I got visual.

However, The audio wasn't working. I tested all three TV's and got no Audio again. So my Dad mentioned an extra adaptor that I could plug in a speaker into my Playstation, (Which I ended up swapping it out with an Xbox 360.)

After buying the extra adaptor. I borrowed a speaker and I did it! Every thing worked out.\


Sorting the Tech

Visual

Final Set up

But that wasn't the end of my trouble.
