acolic Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 Hi I picked up a 5200 and I am trying to hook it to my TV via my audio receiver. Is tried the RF to Coax adapter thinking my receiver had a coax connector. It doesn’t. I tried finding a RF to composite or component or super vga or hdmi and I can’t find one. I’m looking on amazon because it looks like the only place open these days. I must be missing something. Pleas help a newbie out Thanks Alex Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metzger130 Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 I hook mine to an old VCR and then use the composite out on the VCR to the receiver. You might be able to find a VCR cheap if you don't have one laying around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DrVenkman Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 If you have a VCR around, you can run the 5200 through the RF connector on the VCR; then connect the composite and L/R audio connectors from the VCR to your TV. The better solution would be to get your 5200 A/V modded to add composite or S-video, then run that to your TV. If your TV is too new to have legacy composite connections, you can buy a cheap $25 HDMI upscaler from Amazon, or spend $90 - $130 for something from RetroTink. You can spend quite a bit more still, but the benefits start dropping off dramatically the more you spend. Personally, I installed a UAV video mod into my daily driver 5200 to get composite out. A couple weeks ago I also got a RetroTink 2X-Pro to upscale that to HDMI and I'm quite pleased with the results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
