SCART or JP-21?

Post by pyrotek85 »

Is there any way identify which cable is which by looking at the wiring? I use an XRGB mini, but I can't remember if I'm using JP-21 cables (which it accepts) or if it's a SCART to JP-21 adapter with SCART cables that I have connected. I've tried looking for diagrams but the color coding doesn't match.

Thanks

The color coding of the wires is never going to match, but you should be able to tell based on which pins are connected and which pins are not.

You can use a multimeter to check what's connected to what pin.

Check it out:

That should help you out with the wiring between the 2 connectors.
