Well I am in the midst of installing my system finally and relized that I am missing a cable. I guess that I need a RC-70 Cable to connect my XT-40V to a Screen. I can not find this anywhere at all. if someone has one or knows where I can get one I would greatly appreciate it. I am not sure what I am going to do if I cant find one. I dont know what the replacement part is or even if there is one.

If worse comes to worse I think I might be able to remove mine and pin it 

out (see what pin does what). What it comes down to, is you need two lines 

from it generally -- composite video output and ground. IIRC there is 

audio cables dangling from it too or something, but that is why you run a 

stereo.



IIRC, Sony's LCD might plug directly into the connector too.



If worse comes to worse perhaps you could replace the crap connector with 

a standard RCA.

Telmnstr thanks for your help I might have to take you up on that offer of building my own. I had one question though how proprietary is that plug? will something like this work:

To be honest, I don't remember. I think it was less than 8 pins, but I 

could be wrong. Anything with 3-4 pins should be able to handle the signal 

(ground + audio L + audio R + composite video).



Over the next few days I'll ring it out and post the results!

The part number for the RCA connection cord is 1-558-626-11. 

  

 The XT-40V is based on the XT-U400V.  Only a couple of ICs are the difference.

Thanks for all the info. I was able to find someone that had a spare and was more then willing to let me have one. I am very thankful for his gift. Thanks everyone for the help.

It's very difficult to find this cable/dongle, especially these days.  

Crutchfield used to sell these for ages after the XT-40V was discontinued 

but I'm not sure if they would still have it.  RC-70 is what you're looking 

for if you want RCA audio/video output, but it is very hard to find.  Most 

people make their own.



I'm unsure if that 8 pin dongle you listed would work, but it may at least 

let you extract some of the signals, if the DIN connection is right.  The 

connectors just might be wrong (e.g. left audio turns out to be video or 

something).  Or in a worse case the lines are altogether messed up (e.g. two 

grounds in a single RCA out, insted of ground + signal).



On the 40V, the jack will output digital signals as well, as I recall (or at 

least non-standard video) but only if the selector switch is set to "LCD" 

(or monitor or something) instead of "CRT" or "TV".  So you want to make 

sure the selector is in the analog position before beginning.
