Let me clearfy my self and repost my question. What I want to do is this: I have a SC1224 color monitor, a VCR, but I don't have a Color TV. So, I want to be able to get my SC1224 color monitor to act as a TV and the VCR act as a tunning device. Therefore, I need to know some way to get this to work. Is there anybody out there who is knowledgable in electronics?? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks!!!! Usenet: jtang@orion.cf.uci.edu Bitnet: JWTang@UCIVMSA.BITNET

I am certainly no genius with non-computer uses of the Atari monitor, but I don't think you can use the monitor with a VCR. You need a color composite monitor for the VCR, and the ST monitor is an analog RGB monitor. If you can find a way to turn the composite signals of the VCR into the analog signals of the monitor, you MIGHT be able to get it to work. However, I don't know how one would go about doing this. =cf=
