Re: Need help hooking up Apple IIe to TV

[Bill Bach <bbach@cncdsl.com>]

The Apple //e presents the video signal in a composite format on an RCA
plug.  You cannot just convert this to coax, though.  Luckily, there are a
few good options -- the standard auxiliary inputs on VCR's will accept this
video and will do the conversion for you.  Also, newer TV's, especially
those designed for use with other components, will usually have optional
RCA inputs for video feeds directly from a VCR, DVD, etc.  Just jack into
these, and you're home free.

If your TV is really an old one, or a $50 special, then it may not have one
of these.  You should be able to get a converter from your local Radio
Shack to do the job.
