Can I use the S-Video instead of the cables to record videos?

Yes I believe you can. You just need you audio inputs still I believe. The quality Wasn't the best for me. It's ok but not HD.

It would be preferred. Since it's left and right audio. So if you don't have it then where ever you play the video you may only get sound from one side and it would sound off. You can pick up new cable really really cheap from amazon or monoprice.com like only $3.

Dear friend, thank you for your question. There is a switch "S-VIDEO/CVBS" on the back of this converter. Please turn it to the correct side. For example, when you use S-video output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "S-VIDEO", the left side. When you use AV (CVBS) output port of this converter, please turn it to the side of "CVBS", the right side. In addition, there is a "PAL/NTSC" switch. Please swtich it to both sides to have a try. Hope that this will be helpful. Have a nice day! Best regards,KeedoxMaria

I guess you can. I haven't tried. I would do it where your dvr is first. Attach the two. Them hook up the camera to see if it works. And pic quality. They also sell 300 footers. The shielded cable work way better than the skinny black wires that come w the camera set up. I swapt all my wires out. But I always check before. On my property that's a lot of work to find out the shielded cable didn't work. Or work back to back. I have 16 cameras. And never had any problems. I switch out cameras also as time go on.

Eli: I don't think that this is possible. I have the unit in front of me, and the cable, which comes out of the display ( receiver ) - goes into three separate short cables with a SINGLE plug on each. The three short cables are labeled "power", "video", and "camera". I have the "common" type of unit, type "B". This DOES NOT have the recording feature on it, Also it doesn't have any switching feature to switch between different cameras........I hope that this helps......

Yes, I believe so, but not when using S-Video input. S-Video is video only; no sound. The RCA jacks will accept audio, and it should be sent out over the coax just like TV.

There is a S-Video on it, and it will work with it as well as the RCA jacks.

I'm not sure why that would happen. Have you tried using an input other than S-video? I have never had much success with that type of input choice. Can you use HDMI or RCA?

Yes as long as the camera connections (cables) are not the "CAT5" style cable older versions used. If you have two connections ( power and RCA or BNC for video) your fine. Hope this helps. Greg

The cables it has are the red and yellow av cables. if you had some sort of adapter, I would assume you could.

No. This is intended to use where a composite input is not available. The composite signal will always be of less quality that an original S-VHS.

Not for video. You could potentially use it to route just the sound, but I'm pretty sure their are cheaper/better switches for that purpose. What you want to find is a switch with the normal component cable inputs ( just red, white and yellow ports ) on the back.

I use a splitter so I can get multiple outputs from my RCA jack. I don't know if there are splitters available for the PIN jacks. I also have used an adapter to convert s-video to RCA, but it is unnecessary with this unit since it has an RCA output.

I'm afraid not. I bought the VCR to do VHS digitization on my computer, but found that the S-VHS output is only for the DVD player. The out from the VCR is standard composite video.

No it won't work because the output it's different on new S models, and the resolution you get through this cable it's terrible... I don't recommend this cable at all...

I am currently using S-Video to connect my pc to this plasma. While this works, the picture could be better. Text is pretty blurry. I would love to find a way to hook up with a component cable. I have a NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE card in my computer with VGA and S-Video output. Any suggestions? Please help!

I can't find any way to do that. It seems to be set up to only record audio while recording video.

The S-video is an "in" connection on the converter, HDMI is "out" to TV. So yes if you connect a S-video device to the converter and HDMI to the TV.
