OK here is how to fix this problem so your TV out works 100%. I bought this cable from here http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290572188884
parts required, A nice sharp knife, a lighter , some good strong black insulation tape;
When the cable arrives it is wired up wrong so here is what you do:
1: unpack cable
2: cut all three plugs cleanly using the sharp knife at least 6 inches from the base of each plug.
3 now doing this one at a time using the lighter quickly heat each end of the cables you cut,when it start to bubble stop heating it and pull it with you fingers the BLACK plastic should easily pull away leaving the braid and a small colored wire , you must do this as the wires cut very easily and if you use a knife your cable will end up getting shorter and shorter
you should end up with 3 plugs with each plug showing the braid and a colour wire corresponding to the colour of each plug!
4. repeat this process with each of the small colored wires, only heat the ends as the cable will shrink and you do not want to strip it back so far that it shorts with the braids, repeat this process until all are ready
5 twist all the wires individual with fingers and thumbs so they form nice thick wires ready to join making sure to KEEP EACH WIRE SEPARATE FROM THE BRAID!
6: NOW COMES THE IMPORTANT BIT
7:TAKING THE YELLOW PLUG TAKE THE SMALL YELLOW WIRE AND GET THE RED WIRE ON THE JACK PLUG SIDE AND CONNECT IT TO THE SMALL YELLOW WIRE AND TWIST THEM TOGETHER ...YES YELLOW PLUG YELLOW WIRE TO JACK PLUG RED WIRE.... THEN WRAP TAPE AROUND THEM TAKING CARE NOT TO LET THE BRAID MAKE CONTACT THEN CONNECT THE BRAIDS TOGETHER ON THE SAME WIRES THEN TAPE AROUND THEM TIGHTLY AND THAT'S THEM DONE ! YELLOW TO RED.. BRAID TO BRAID.
8:NEXT TAKE RED PLUG RED WIRE AND CONNECT TO YELLOW JACK PLUG WIRE TWIST TOGETHER AND TAPE OVER BUT DO NOT CONNECT THE BRAIDS.... WITH THE 2 BRAIDS THAT ARE LEFT CUT THEM AND THROW THEM AWAY AND TAPE OVER AGAIN MAKING SURE THE BRAIDS DON'T TOUCH OR IT WILL CAUSE A SHORT AND YOU WONT GET AND PICTURE!
8:NOW TAKE THE WHITE PLUG AND CONNECT TO THE WHITE WIRE ON THE JACK PLUG TWISTING AGAIN AND TAPE OVER, THEN WITH THE TWO BRAID LEFT CUT AND THROW THEM AWAY THEM TAPE OVER MAKING SURE THE BRAIDS DON'T TOUGH.
10:GET ALL THREE COMPLETED WIRES GET MORE TAPE AND WRAP AROUND ALL 3 TO LEAVE NICE CLEAN FINISH AND THAT'S IT!
sorry for the caps but by the time i realised it was all typed out and I'm not typing it out again. the reason you much do it that way is the earths are all arse about face and joining them creates a short when connected to the tv which is why the picture is scrambled and audio buzzes and hums.this method has been confirmed by myself and tested as working with full stereo audio with the plugs being their right colours..RED RIGHT AUDIO, WHITE LEFT AUDIO, AND YELLOW VIDEO OUT.. enjoy
