How to connect VGA to RCA?

Hello Everyone, how can I connect a 15 pin VGA wires to a 6 plug RCA adaptors for my home theater woofer? Thnx

  • I have a cable whose one end is a 15 pin VGA for my home theater woofer and the other end is a 6 plugs RCA jacks for the DVD, but the wires are torn apart and would want to know the color mappings to fix them. Thank you.

  • Answer:

    That's a non-standard wiring harness. It may look like VGA -- but that's video only, so it's an audio 5.1 connection. If you can't figure it out from the RCA plugs I suggest you contact the manufacturer. At the very least you need to provide a brand/model number ....

A 15 pin VGA plug is for Video normally, so that is not a standard connection. Consult the manual, if you've misplaced the manual, its probably available online from the manufacturers website. If no manual is available, trial and error is your next best bet. I cannot tell from your question if your cable is in working condition (you mention it being torn). Soldering a VGA plug can be very difficult, if not impossible for an amateur. If your cable is destroyed, your best bet is to contact the manufacturer for a replacement. If that doesn't work, you can try one of these http://www.digitalconnection.com/products/Cables/vgafbncp.asp along with BNC to RCA adapters. Unless it uses pins which standard VGA does not, that adapter would do the same thing. The colors may be different however.

Hmmm, haven't seen ONE of those in about 20 years.... That's an old VGA to RGB projector cable...most likely from a school or business.... They used to connect video switchers to the projectors and bring in various sources of video thru the switcher. You found those units in older conference rooms in businesses... They're pretty much outdated and you'd need an OLD switcher with it to make it work..... I get a WEIRD feeling that RCA took advantage of the situation and purchased those cables and ENGINEERED their system to get rid of those cable when they became OBSOLETE.... I wouldn't put it past them..... So that way, you had to get the cable from them when it broke... Guaranteed profitability.... So...WHAT are you REALLY trying to do with your system?? Kluge in a goofy cable because it's laying around the house? Or are you trying to make the connections because it came with your subwoofer and someone cut the connectors off the end of it? Hmmm 15 pin VGA to a 6 pin configuration....must be a 2.1 setup.... A MODEL number of the amp MIGHT help if it's not over 10 years old.... Of course RCA uses chassis numbers to reference their schematics.... And I suspect that's what you need is the schematics to rewire the "torn apart" wiring....
