  external monitor for xha1 setting up

  Posted by Rhonda Weiderhaft on December 3, 2010 at 6:37 am

  Hi,
  I’m a little brain dead right now!! I just purchased a used Varizoom 5″ monitor to use with my xha1 and for the life of me I can’t get it to work. It says to connect the RCA video cable from camera to monitor. I’m using the one that came with the camera, 3 plugs on one end 1 yellow and 1 black plug on the other end, but it’s not working. Am I doing something wrong??

  If you are trying to view the composite signal you need to use the cable that has a three-way 3.5mm mini-plug on one end that plugs into the A/V recptl. and three rca on the other, the yellow is video, the red and white are stereo sound, If component you need to use the cable that has red, blue, and green rca on one end and mini multi connector on the other, you also need to have the appropriate signal selected in the menu for HD component or SD component, refer to your owner manual.
