I just used it to make a new TV Out cable and it worked great using a $1 camcorder cable!

As soon as you've broken pin #4 on that adapter, you're done! You just have to connect the camcorder cable and you're all set to watch video on your TV.

Just to be clear, this is the adapter I used:

Okay, I got one of these adaptors, broke pin 4, but it doesn't seem to work

Polloloco, can you tell me exactly the behavior of the adaptor, with regard to the cable and when you have it plugged in?

When will the TV out screen come up, when you plug in the adaptor, or do you have to have the cables plugged in too?

It could be that the AV cables I have aren't the right ones, but I would have though that I would be able to get SOME kind of activity from it when I try various video and audio cables, but so far nothing.
