mrkoelie Posted September 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2020 I've contacted the seller, and according to him: - RCA connections for Left/right stereo - S-Video connection (I am not sure why he did this, because afaik component is better, right?) - SPDIF with a BNC connection It should arrive tomorrow, so i am very curious what's up with this xbox.

You can't tell when he did this and which TV and cable set he had at that time. To me, the time of CRT TVs with SCART and S-Video inputs is like yesterday, for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red and white RCA connectors are the standard colors for Right and Left stereo audio outputs. Orange is generally for a coaxial digital audio output. Black ??? S-Video is better than composite. If their TV had S-Video in but no component video input, there's no reason to add it. As for the BNC for digital audio output (SPDIF): There are two advantages to BNC: (1) it has a characteristic impedance (50 or 75 ohms depending on use), and (2) is a locking (bayonet) connector. It should make no difference whether you go RCA or BNC, and you don't really need a 75 ohm cable either if you are only spanning a few feet.

According to Wikipedia: They are often color-coded, yellow for composite video, red for the right audio channel, and white or black for the left channel of stereo audio. I need to remove the clock cap to prevent leaking, so when i'm opening it up tomorrow i will post some pics of the inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrkoelie Posted September 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2020 I will take better pics soon. The black and white wire are going to the RCA ports: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
