Question
i understand i can get a f-male to rca female adapter to connect my old apf mp1000 to my tv/vcr.  i was wondering if there is any adapter that will allow me to split the audio and video within the single rca (carrying audio and video) into separate rca audio and video connections.

thanks.

Answer
G'day,

OMG a Al & Phil Friedman machine (A peice of video game history from the 1980's)  I usually don't get questions on such classics.  How cool.

Unfortunitly there is no adaptor that will split a RCA jack into a AV (Audio/Video).  About the closest you will be able to get to connecting to anything modern is a S-Video jack.  As there is a female RCA to S-Video Connectors available out on the market.


Sorry I could not be of more help.

Cheers.
