An s-video cable is really two cables in one (a cable for the luminance and a cable for the chrominance). > I assume this is some kind of hacked composite input, but the audio > doesn't seem to work. It's not exactly a hacked composite input, and it certainly isn't an audio input. The cable you're using simply breaks out the two components which make up an s-video signal. It works for connecting a composite video source to the Hauppauge because the video input connector on the board can be programmed to use both sets of pins so a s-video source can be attached, or to use one set of pins for composite video (in which case the second set of pins isn't used). The PVR-350 manual shows the audio input as the second connector from the bottom ... located right above the IR jack. -- John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Feith Systems | Voice: 1-215-646-8000 | Email: john@feith.com | | John Wehle | Fax: 1-215-540-5495 | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------
