5200 to TV via Receiver How?

[acolic]

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

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.

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.

You mean something like this?

5200 to antenna and then video and sound out?

Thanks

Thanks, I got it working.

Played a few games.

The controller is atrocious.
