Raspberry Pi 2 A/V output via RCA Question.

Does your pi side look like this?

The problem is 3 types. Only if GND on second ring will this work with Pi. Sometimes the video is not yellow, but red( or white). Try all other two and report which works.

If you have a camcorder cable then red is video

hello I m new user like you guys to lovely "Raspberry pi 2" ,

i m like you faced the problem in getting output on tv using RCA VIDEO cable,but after some research found a complete solution,

Solution to RCA VIDEO output prolem: Two steps

Step 1:Hardware setup,i,e whatever the rca cable you have bought mostly have the yellow pin with connections in reverse as per Rapberry pi requirement ,

       so you the cut yellow wire at distance of 10 cm from male pin and reverse the connection with black to yellow and yellow to black, now you are fit with RCA hardware                         compatability.

Step 2: If you connect Raspy to  tv powered on and then power on your raspy,if you dont see anything on tv (with AV screen on ,for which the Raspy has been connected)

          go for "config.txt" editing ,Add the folliwing lines of code, (note:if a line of code already exist dont repeat it)

sdtv_mode=2

hdmi_ignore_hotplug=1

#hdmi_force_hotplug=1        

#note above lines added to have composite display,and hdmi will not come,if you want hdmi display on,comment above two lines,and uncomment third line.

i think i have given a quick solution for the problem of not having output on CRT TV using RCA Video cable .

If your problem is solved please comment out,or for any queries.
