I just bought a runco 992 ultra and the s video is there and not enabled. Is there a special way to find it to turn it on. When I choose it does not work. In the barco brand it is active.

More importantly, why would you want to? THe Barco/Runco is capable of so much more.

Runco made some changes to the basic BArco 808 chassis. Usually you press '2' on the keypad to switch to the Svideo input, but I guess it's possible that RUnco removed the Svideo option to save costs.


If hte set shows the menus, check the tube condition before anything else, and if they are good, get a Moome card, and feed HDMI into the RGBHV inputs. For now, go to a computer store and get a VGA to 5 BNC cable so you can output a laptop or desktop computer to the set. Run 1024 X 768 and play with it. Svideo will give a grainy, low resolution image.
