Hi guys I hope someone can help me and if they can get this going I'm happy to send them $50 for their time as I don't like to muck around and know time is money.
I've been on this problem for over a week now , so don't think it's a easy one to solve.
I have a 48 in 1 jamma games board and trying to connect it to a Sony 27 inch TV- monitor .
This Monitor uses a external box that acts as the tuner and auxiliary inputs, on the rear of the monitor itself it has three input connectors. The first one is Scart , the second is a RGB multi pin plug ( looks like a 34 pin floppy drive connector ) and the third is a composite input RCA..
I have tried hooking up the Scart connection with
red to 15
Green to 11
Blue to 7
GND to 5, 9, 13, 18, 21
Sync to 20
+5 volts through 100ohm resistor to 16
When hooking up on scart only trace line visible and no picture.
Now with the 34 pin RGB multi plug connector here is the pinouts for it :
Pin Description
1 +5V power supply
2 +5V power supply
3 Audio (R) input GND
4 GND
5 Remote control GND
6 Composite video output GND
7 Audio (L) input GND
8 Red Return (GND)
9 Green Return (GND)
10 Blue Return (GND)
11 GND
12 Blanking input Return (GND)
13 H.sync Return (GND)
14 N.C.
15 V.sync Return (GND)
16 GND
17 N.C.
18 N.C.
19 N.C.
20 Audio (R) Input
21 Mode Select
22 N.C.
23 Composite Video Output
24 Audio (L) Input
25 Red Input
26 Green Input
27 Blue input
28 N.C.
29 Blanking Input
30 H.sync or composite sync
31 V.sync
32 N.C.
33 RGB/NORMAL mode select
34 Audio Select
Now with this plug I couldn't find the right way for the female connector to go in as the web page does not show where the key should be on the plug .
http://pinouts.ru/Home/sonyrgbmulti_pinout.shtml
I checked the voltages for the two +5 volts feed as shown in the diagram and found two feeds that were 6.45 AC so I take it that's Number 1 and 2.
Than I tried to hookup the wires as shown now.
8 to GND.
9 to GND.
10 GND.
12 to GND.
16 to GND.
25 to Jamma red.
26 to Jamma Green.
27 to Jamma Blue.
30 to H.sync Jamma
Only trace line showed ( no picture )
Now I also found that number 21 of multi pin is a mode switch that switches from Digital RGB to Analogue RGB. I tried to put a 100kohm resistor from 21 to ground then 21 to +5 volts , then I removed the resistor and gave pin 21 a direct Neg and then +5 volts ( no such luck picture still the same ).
I also found that number 33 is RGB VS Normal and did the exact same as above with resistor and direct Neg and +5 volts to which still nothing appears on screen.
If I hook up my Computer monitor to the VGA output plug on the Jamma board a picture comes up Ok but I have to set the Dip switch to VGA mode. With all my testing I did try both settings CGA and VGA.
Now with the composite monitor input I hooked up a DVD player to it and picture appears ok on the monitor so I know that side works.
So you see I just about tried everything I could think of and my last way out would be to buy a RGB to NTSC/PAL converter so I can run the game from Jamma to Composite RCA but I know I will be loosing quality so that's my last resort.
Help to get the Scart or RGB multi pin going would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and regards Electroman2006
