jochen 4 Report post Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Hi, For the benefit of all I'll answer here. Yes, it is possible and it is very easy. As long as you have the TV tuner on your Bordmonitor - which you'll recognise by the fact that you can receive TV - then you have an AV input which you can connect any standard video source too. So you can connect a DVD player or a Playstation or X-Box or your digital camera or whatever. The TV Tuner actually has 2 x extra video inputs. 1. The AV input I've mentioned above 2. A Reverse Camera input, which, when active, has priority display on the monitor. Both are easy to wire up, either by a) fitting new pins to the connectors on the TV tuner and wiring in new RCA sockets on a short lead fitting RCA sockets on a short lead to the circuit board inside the TV tuner c) buying a special adapter cable so everything is plug and play on to the TV tuner It just so happens I've got some of these adapter cables coming from Germany, should be here in a few days. If anyone wants to hook up an AV input to their Bordmonitor, then I'm happy to help. Cheers, Jochen Edited June 9, 2006 by jochen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
