Really helpful vid. I want to do an s video mod for my sony kv-9pt50. This vid gave me a lot more confidence since I’m not too experienced in soldering but this looks like it should be easy
@@treminaorugx Very cool thank you! A few questions, if I may. 1. Is my tv’s board just like that one you linked? Or will I have to look for the specific layout of mine? 2. What gauge wire should I use for this project? 3. Do I need to adjust the image with magnets or do anything dangerous after the mod? I’m happy with the geometry of my set
@@floridaman7206 no problem: 1. I have not worked on that exact one but I would venture a guess it's going to be extremely similar if not the same. 2. 26-28awg 3. Nope it will remain the way you like it.
@@treminaorugx awesome thank you! Another question if I may, in your linked guide, does chroma not need to be connected anywhere? It says luma goes to composite input, ground, and then another spot on the board. Also is there a specific kind of soldering wire I need?
@@floridaman7206 Sorry that was a typo, I've updated the page to be correct. the last word was supposed to be chroma not luma. I've also updated the images so that you can click them to enlarge them. Buy Kester solder www.amazon.com/dp/B00068IJNQ
I have the diagrams for my jungle chip and controller chip on my model of crt. I would like to convert the s-video output to an input but I don’t really know how to go about it.
composite and RF are nearly equal. in fact on paper their specs are identical for video quality. If you are getting a noisy or distorted picture on RF its either because your composite -> RF modulator is crap or your TV Tuner has problems (check AGC for example). I would not bother modding the TV at all unless you can prove it takes s-video.
@@treminaorugx Ive been doing research, And it seems to be coming down to SVideo being the most potential to connect what I want to this set. NTSC Wii consoles apparently refuses to output RGB (It uses two of the RGB pins for svideo...), and I havnt even found out if this set can accept that yet. Worst case I stick to composite through my vcr, and that's at least a decade newer than the tv.
@@treminaorugx I THINK my jungle chip is a Sharp x0212CE which apparently translates to an NTE1671 Cant seem to find a full datasheet, but I did find a pinout, it has Chroma Input on pin 9. Not seeing a straight "Video Input", but there are "Delay Input" "Video Inv Input" "Demod Input" "Clamp Input" and a "Vert Sync Input"
"Video Inv Input" sounds bad because I think it means Inverted input. Which means there is some interesting circuitry before the jungle chip that possibly inverts the video signal or something.... Since your TV doesn't even have composite input it may even be taking a nonstandard signal straight from the tuner instead of converting that to composite video first. TBH my friend I would just leave the TV as-is and use an alternative way to connect your stuff such as the VCR you mentioned. Another TV always comes along.
I dunno I am self taught, really all you need is an interest and a willingness to spend time and make mistakes + seek out people who know more than you.
as somebody with three young kids who also is trying an s-video mod on a CRT i picked up, the yawn at @17:05 really spoke to me
Recently got my hands on a beautiful RCA E13701 with the same composite input. This video has been a godsend for upgrading it. Thank you

I did a similar model recently and you can find the info on that here crtdatabase.com/crts/sony/sony-kv-8ad12#s-video-mod

Very good content.
Thanks, this was helpful!
That was an enjoyable 20 mins of nerdness

I found a sharp 19RP59, Its only got RF in... Im hoping I might be able to get at LEAST composite out of it. its a 1990 woodgrain set.

how does somebody learn to work on electronics like this? I found this video really interesting
I dunno I am self taught, really all you need is an interest and a willingness to spend time and make mistakes + seek out people who know more than you.
I beleive that chroma pin has to be grounded when not in use.
Do you have a writeup somewhere I can read? Or maybe put it in the description? Just wanna get the basics without watching 20 min video
yeah it can be summarized into one sentence if you already have a basic understanding of mods. crtdatabase.com/crts/sharp/sharp-14lv76
@@treminaorugx exactly what I was looking for thanks.
I'm not a fan of Sharp TV's but I am a fan of unique electronics. Too bad about the case damage.
i believe y is chroma
s-video is also called Y/C. Y = luma (sync + brightness), C = chroma (color info)
