joeyaage Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Question: I have a jaguar AV to composite cable (3 RCA phono plugs - composite video and left/right audio). Is it safe to plug the audio left/right into my Denon stereo system? Just the yellow composite plug into the television. I ask because I am unsure if the load from the stereo is suitable enough and that the jaguar has enough 'drive'. I am exploring jaguar sound output at the moment, development technical specifications and development coding examples and would like to try the output through a decent amplifier. The amplifier has an auxiliary input (phono sockets left/right). Also would be better quality for CD player. I know there was a cat box made by ICD and that had audio out. Did it comprise of some pre-amp circuitry? I noticed that the jaguar s-video cable has phono left/right. Do you think the video would be better quality than composite. Anyway the television I am using has no s-video socket but I do have s-video on my 'other' television. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 The best thing to do is go through the headphone port. It amplifies the signal quite a bit (make sure you turn the dial up). Another member here told me about that like 10 years ago and I still use it that way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyaage Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Sorry do you mean the headphone port from the ICD cat box (unfortunately I don't own one) or the headphone port from the television? I did consider that but the sound would be processed 'through' the televisions sound circuitry and I don't think it is particularly good on the portable telly I am using. I was wondering if the phono ports were safe to use, really. Thanks for the idea, though. At least the jaguar is safe that way. I do have a 'portable in' 3.5mm input jack on the amplifier that is designed for MP3 players/ iPods. The level is quite low, though. I have used an iPad through it but I need the amplifier up a bit. Thank you for the reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher5.0 Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Yes on the Catbox. Then connect with one of these: https://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Mini-Plug-Computer-Stereo/dp/B000LMFS7M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+madman Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I'm a bit confused as you're asking about output from the catbox and then mention that you don't have one. Are you planning to get one? Otherwise I'd just stick w/using a composite cable and feeding either the audio outs into your TV or receiver. I always just feed audio directly into the TV as to me video game music isn't very critical. S-video will look a lot nicer though on your other TV.

Zerosquare Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 You can plug the red and white RCA cables directly into an audio amplifier, the audio levels are suitable -- no need for a preamplifier or to use the headphone jack of your TV.

joeyaage Posted October 3, 2017 Author Share Posted October 3, 2017 Apologies for the confusion, madman. Thank you for the straight answer, Zerosquare. I will try the phono to amp method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyaage Posted October 5, 2017 Author Share Posted October 5, 2017 I tried it out today. It works! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
