back of xc10a has connectors for coax to tv and video and audio out to TV
removing cable going to tv from cable and connecting a cable from xc10a does not show anything coming from xc16a.
should I use a splitter so cable and xv10a coax go into TV.
and video and audio are going into AV1 connectors on back of TV and nothing showing on 3, 4 or AV1.
help.

xc10a is a camera. The vr31a is the receiver for it.
You should not have to connect both the RF coax and signal connectors to the TV. Since you have an AV1 input. I would use it over the RF coax connection.
If you power off the camera do you see any snow and have noise on the TV?
-
I tried again. And it works. I was using a universal transformer and connector was lose. It works just fine now.
How about another question?
any chance it will work with a flat screen old Sylvania computer monitor.
No computer it was windows 98 and long gone.
-
I don't know if it would work.
Can you look at the monitor and see what connectors it has on it for video?
That may give us a clue.
-
tomorrow I'm taking cable that plugs into back of monitor to torrance electronics to see if a video to vga connector or box will fit.
I'll let you know.

I made a video and sent it to a company who may have what I need. An RCA to VGA converter box.

You may want to wait for their response.
I looked at at the web page and #4722 looks like the one.
RCA {Composite}; S-Video and VGA in to VGA out.

...Boy $108 sounds a little steep.....
How about $24 shipped?

I did a quick search and found this one on Ebay... I'm sure there are more.

nybuck, The 4722 was $36.88.
Your EBay find looks very good also.
-
I bought below one from a seller not so far away as China and I got to pay CA state tax!
Thanks for getting back to me with the video, it was quite helpful. Since the camera will be into the video receiver and the outputs of the receiver are a coax output and Audio video outputs, what you can use is the RCA to VGA converter. Which would be PID# 4724 http://www.monoprice.com/products/search.asp?keyword=4724&x=0&y=0
From the output of the video receiver that has the RCA video outputs, go into this converter and from this converters output go VGA (D-sub) into the monitor. It comes with a all the cables to do this also.
-
That number they gave you is wrong.
That one takes VGA Video input signal from a computer and makes it into a Composite signal to the TV.
Look at the 4722. It takes a RCA composite and converts it to a VGA signal into the monitor.

You are right... Where did I get $108 ???
And I agree with Brian H... ;D
-
I as able to stop shipping of 4724 this morning by calling.
then I received this.
You are absolutely right. As I did note in the previous email - you can use is the RCA to VGA converter.
You would in fact use convert the RCA to VGA, not VGA to RCA. We did have the right idea here, but I did provide the wrong PID by accident. This was actually a mistake on my end.It is actually PID# 4722 http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10114&cs_id=1011407&p_id=4722&seq=1&format=2
Sorry about the confusion.
Price for 4722 is higher and they will not work with me for their mistake so I am going else were like to EBAY.
-
I am glad you where able to catch it before it shipped.
That would have complicated things.

I love my Ebay... ;D ;)
...and buying from China isn't the end of the world. It all comes from there anyway... If it works, you are sitting pretty. No real chance for returns, though. :(

I bought below from a company here in CA selling what looks to be same item from China and once again I paid CA sales tax. I could have avoided sales tax had I ordered directly from China however I would like to put an end to this topic.
And company I was going buy 4724 when it was later suggested by someone on this forum I should buy 4722, I thought it best to go elsewhere

That should work.
Side note on tax. Here in CT we have a sales and use tax. If you buy out of state. You should add it on the CT Tax form.
Many years ago. I bought a mail order computer and NJ reported the sale to CT, but slipped a zero in the report. CT thought I got a ~$12,000 computer and not a $1200 one. I got a bill for not paying the tax and fines with interest. Was for more than the computer cost. :o
Now I report everything even a $2.00 purchase and list the $.12 on the form. Even if I have to go to multiple pages. Let them work for their money! rofl

RCA S-Video to vga converter arrived over weekend. It works just fine after remembering to turn on receiver.
It's just what I wanted.
Took some video of it but all video will show is there is a video on Sylvania monitor. It came with VGA and RCA cables and a cable to plug into back of monitor from converter. Lots of things to plug into outlets, camera, receiver, monitor and converter.
do a search on ebay for below. for whatever reason item does not show at their site.
RCA Composite S-video to VGA Adapter w/Cable for DVD PC
thanks to all who helped me find this.

Glad it worked out for you.
