  • 6pin to 4pin firewire – comp to stand alone

    Posted by Leslie Wand on July 30, 2005 at 5:57 am

    in passing;

    i thought i’d try using a spare 6pin firewire from the pc to a stand alone, 4pin, lg dvd recorder.

    picture fine but no audio? (works ok 4pin to 4pin)

    any thoughts?

    If you’re getting audio 4-pin to 4-pin, there’s no reason why you shoudn’t get audio 6-pin to 4-pin. One possibility would be a bad firewire cable?

    thanks edward.

    since i live miles from anywhere that has the remotest idea what a firewire cable is, i’ll just have to wait.

    it stikes me as strange (or sad), that the cable thing seems to come up as an answer in many posts, and that, on average, it seems to cure the various problems.

    is this poor cable manufacturing, or bad design?

    all the best,

    leslie

    ps. love 4.5! loaded yesterday – but not gloing to really give it a workout for another couple of weeks (enough small screens for the moment!)

    I suspect cheap cables.

    Good to hear you got everything loaded!
