Hi, finally brought my first neo geo aes, however it doesn't seem to run currently on my tv - a flat screen LCD, don't have any old style tv's in the house now. Did see the console running before I brought it however was on an old tv.

Only have the standard AV cable with yellow & White outputs.

Do I need to buy a new lead such as a RGB scart lead, please advise?

Here's what it looks like on my tv when tried to hook it up - no colour or sound with a dodgy striped picture:

You are plugged into the component video slot. That's reserved for 3 lead video. Does your tv have a regular RCA av in? On second look try moving the white plug to the white audio side of that strip and leave the yellow where it is.

Move the white plug into the white jack labeled Audio L.

Well our other tv's have the separate AV output - so all good on them.

Just seen RGB scart lead for AES on eBay @£7.99 so ordered one of them, job done!

Thanks for advise guys and putting up with my silly question (me being thick!)

Thank the colourful deitys of video displays, RGB is much more appropriate for a Neo. Composite (yellow) is absolutely horrible!

Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I think all AES systems output RGB, but some later models do not output combined sync. For those systems you must use a sync extractor to obtain a clean sync signal from the composite out.

TVs in the UK expect composite video for sync. A sync cleaner is good to have on hand when using RGB. Just use an LM1881, it's a very simple circuit to build.

Regardless of which pin it comes from the Neo's AV port passes a dirty sync signal, unless this is tapped internally at the chip, but where's the fun in that? :)
