Can Somebody send me directions for hooking up a Composite monitor
to my 520STm. (I have composite on pin 2 I think.) Is there something
special I need to do to get the sound to come out of the monitor, or
is that included in the composite signal ? (I can get I color composite
monitor for $75).
If you think others would be interested in this info, you could post
your reply.
Thanks,
Bob Fortin

Evanston, Il. Cc: Wow, I didn't know they made any 1040's with an RF-modulator. Anyway, if you do indeed have an ST with a built in RF-modulator, then you already have the circuitry for composit built in. One of the pins on the monitor port is designated as composite video out if you have an RF mod. If you don't want to deal with making your own cable, etc, then you can buy something like Practical Soln's Monitor Master. It has a composite & audio out RCA jacks on it. If you're into playing with hardware, I'd just open the case & solder in 2 wires to the aprop. pins on the pc-board. -Chris Nims nims@accuvax.nwu.edu

Or is it just so obvious that just one look and, hey there it is....? Also, don't you have to worry about attenuating the signal from this port - I think I remember an earlier discussion (about Sony monitors) where their input levels are not quite the same as the output from the ST? Or is it entirely case dependent upon the type of monitor you are hooking it to?
