Super helpful I was troubleshooting for like 2 hours until I had stumbled into this video.

Thanks for the video! really helped a ton

Very helpful. Was tinkering with a DIY connection from a Zero W (TV pins to composite) just to know a bit more.

love this. Thank you very much

I think that if you switch the cables (colors) it will be fine. When I connect my yellow cable to the red it works 🤔. Thank you for the video anyway 🙂

When you want to click an OK button that's off screen, click on the top left most tab so it's selected, then hit Shift+Tab, which will tab through selections, but in reverse, and it will tab your selection to the button in the bottom left of the window (which is off screen here), then you hit enter or spacebar to select it.

Congrats, this is the most intelligent source of information I've found in the last 12 hours trying to troubleshoot why mine isn't working. I have a bunch of those cables so I thought it was something else but after testing they all share the incompatible TRRS configuration. All this to watch dragon ball z on my CRT lol ~_~

Could you help me I am trying to use a raspberry pi 3 B+ to display to a 13" AppleColor RGB monitor the monitor uses db15 and I have a gert 666 adapter on the pi and a VGA to db15 adapter with 10 switches but I can't figure out how to get it to display currently there are 2 small pi screens that go in circles on the screen and are greenish.

I noticed you had trouble moving some windows far enough by grabbing the title bar. But, there's another way to do this. In Linux, you can move and resize by alt-dragging on any point of the window with the left and right mouse button respectively. F11 will also make your browser full-screen. And CTRL +/- zoom the website in and out.

A working mouse helps but the cursor won't go above the top of the screen. On a low resolution monitor some windows are larger than the screen. So you'd have to drag the tittle bar pass the top of the screen to access the bottom part of a tall window. That's where ALT-dragging comes in handy.

Classic Sony of the 80s-90s. Everything propriatary. Like the Apple of the last 15 years or so.

Nice video! Very cool (and lucky for me) that Raspberry PIs has composite output built in! Is there a way to make the image smaller, so you can see the entire picture on the CRT? (Overscan options?)

Interesting video as usual.... Impressed there are CRT TVsets around still. My wee country just about every one of the things is in landfill or sent to the likes of China for recycle.... A few may be being hoarded to become tomorrows antiques. Everything went digital a while ago now with analog switch off. In a short period folks were able buy a set top box if they still had a 4:3 CRT. It didn't take long for the STB cost to equal the down-payment on a flatscreen and the minefield of complaints about having black bars top and bottom to fit the 16:9 to a 4:3 was almost a nationwide outrage! Those friends whose kids have taken up the Maker hobby and the 'Pi have let me put an onboard 7" touch screen so the things totally standalone and no longer needs patching to an external screen.. (which tends to be already spoken for in the home)...

It's Wales, not Whales 😂 apart from that, a great video! Thanks for making this and sharing!

How do u zoom out on this huge monitor as it is very large and I only see big things

Thanks for doing this one! So I guess it doesn't have stereo audio this way as you hook the TV video yellow to the red on the adapter? I'm just trying to not throw away a working TV. It will look ok from 30' away :) I would pipe the audio to the amplifier beside the TV if the Pi can do stereo out this port.

Yes it does. I only hooked one up. The one I wasn't using was the other audio channel. The red carried the video and the yellow and white carried the left and right audio. White left, yellow right and red video.

Man your the best

wait can you hook it up to a vhs belt in screen player?

For a geek convention we had the idea to have a slideshow "in a loop". Somebody got from a hotel around 12 retired CRT TVs for free... sole condition _"do not return them after the venue!"_ with those RPIs doing "ken-burns" it that was quite an attraction...

@@12voltvids I can recommend "infobeamer" (infobeamer.com) for that purpose. and in terms of CPU/GPU: 1B or zero is fully sufficient. (and even spanning videos over multiple displays with different resolution and aspect ratio is no problem. Videos are prerendered "in the cloud", stored on the local SD card and playback is tightly syncronised via NTP.

If you run Raspian in a single boot environment it will be option 2, but will switch to a low resolution output on HDMI if a display is connected. If you want PAL (default is NTSC) you need to edit config.txt before booting.

I have a DAEWOO 14 inch TV. I`m going to give this a try just for the hell of it. Even although i have a Panasonic 49 inch 1080p TV. I use my 14 inch for my BBC Master 128K Computer. To those of us here in the UK. And also for my SANYO VTC 5000 Betacord PAL. Witch i still use to this day.

Just discovered this, myself. I had to swap the red (video, not right audio) and yellow (right audio, not video) RCA jacks, too.

Thank you very much ... i managed to get it work by your tutorial but it works only with connection Red -> Yellow , Yellow -> White , White -> Red ... and i checked by Multimetr ... its the Sony version of cables ... but the main problem is that the picture is Black/White. any idea what is wrong? ... anyway your tutorial is still the best i could find ... thank you very much.

I have a PI1 2 and 3. When I built the boot disk I had to download specific versions of the OS based on the different models. Therefore I would say they are not backwards compatible, but what do I know. I use the pi1 as a streaming media player, and both the pi2 and 3 are sitting in a box and haven't been used in months.
