What If It Doesn’t Work?

Even if this chapter’s hardware is simple, a few things can still go wrong. If you don’t see a video signal at all on your TV set, make sure you’ve selected the right input source. Usually its name is AV or Composite. When in doubt, try all of them.

Then check whether you’ve swapped the resistors. Connect the 470 resistor to pin D7 and the 1k resistor to D9. Also, make sure the resistors have the right values.

If you see a distorted video signal, make sure you haven’t accidentally used NTSC instead of PAL or vice versa. Also, check all solder joints on the modified RCA cable. When in doubt, add more solder.
