nah im used to using composite
But europe had the scart cable
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
"no wonder we stopped using them" point and laugh…
I have a n64 and GameCube and when I bring my games and n64 to my friends house to play on his crt, it’s so annoying when a game doesn’t have a mono option because you know it won’t sound good on stereo
So no one is going to mention S-video?
"No wonder why we stopped using them" me who is using an old lg tv connected using a hdmi to component adapter which is connected to my 5090 😂😂, currently watching the video on this
I'm gen alpha and half of my devices require this
Yeah, I remember HD TVs used to be component cables only for a good amount of time.
my xbox 360 has the rca adapters one of them for composite and two for component.
younger folks = people ages 5 and lower
They were also used to send digital audio (SP/DIF) signals over 1 cable. Full 5.1 over 1 cable. Wild!
i literally just finished soldering rca connectors for me speakers.. i love rca
Linus Tech Tips!
Im 14 and grow up with digital and analog tv signal's
Scart cable is better
RCA cables are not that old? Right? I mean I still use component signals on my flat screen.
I still use them for my crt tv
Yeah I can’t say i miss the RCA cables. We’ve long since evolved since the ye olden days of the blue, yellow, and white cables
I’m younger and I still know them I used to have a dvd player that had those cable
There was another use for example if you had an dvd player that could also play cd 💿 then you could have only the soround sound connected without the video
Well spdif
These are still used today. If you have a separate surround sound processor (AV Preamp) and a standalone amplifier. Although they are being replaced with Balanced cables which use an XLR plug (same jack used for professional Microphones). Car audio still uses RCA's going out from the head unit to the amp.
When's the last time you repaired an HDMI cable by replacing the connector on the end? Or made a custom cable to carry monaural Line Out audio from your scanner receiver to the stereo Line In of your amplifier?
RCA may be old, but it's a defacto standard for analog audio and video.
Older HDMI had issues with mismatched devices, where the audio would cut out randomly and require sometimes power cycling the various devices in the correctborder to get it working again.
