<> Do any of you have experience hooking your Amiga up to an RGB TV? Specifically, I'll be hooking my Amiga up to a projection TV (Sony 1020 I think) and am wondering if there are any pitfalls. Also, the necessary pinout for generating analog R, G, B, and sync would be very helpful. Since I'm no hardware type, I'd also appreciate any info on the length of cable that the Amiga can drive, and whether it should be specially shielded, or whatever else you video gurus think. I'm a little worried because I have heard from the shop I'll be renting the TV from that Commodore came to Boston with cable in hand, prepared to do just this but were not successful and ended up using the composite output instead. I'd hate to have to do that! Thanks, Gary

I don't think you should have any problems, as long as you get ahold of the projection TV ahead of time and make sure you have the right connector and can test it out. The Composite sync and analog RGB should be capable of driving a resonably long cable say 10-25 feet without any degredation that would be noticable on a projection TV. Don't make it any longer than you have to, though. -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {ihnp4|seismo|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing arpa: cbmvax!grr@seismo.css.GOV Commodore, Engineering Department fone: 215-431-9255 (only by moonlite)
