Hello All,
I'm having problems connecting HDMI to some old portable TVs. Obviously, not an easy project to start off with but I've had some success already and need some general knowledge if it is out there.
There are 2 portable TV sets, one color and one black and white.
I've included images of both television sets and a drawing of the cables that I'm using to connect them.
The issues are as follows:
The color TV plays audio and video but in black and white. I've isolated this issue to being most likely being fixed by a PAL 2 NTSC converter on top of the the HDMI 2 AV converter that I've already had success with. In my research I also saw something about a Radioshack all in one cable that did the trick, if anyone has information about this cable or any other general solution please let me know.
COLOR TV (video B/W)
COLOR TV (Back)
The B/W TV is a little more complicated. The video input on the back is similar to a 3.5mm jack but I've never seen anything like it. I tried using a camcorder cable that has a third ring for video on top of the HDMI 2 AV converter and did get some sort of signal but no video or audio. My guess after some research is that the input is most likely a coaxial input of some sort since the antenna input is the same size and shape. If anyone has any knowledge about whether this is correct, and if it is possible to convert HDMI 2 COAX please let me know.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing and able to embark on this mission. Please let me know if I can get you any more relevant information.
