Hi all. I've got a Panasonic FS-A1 without an A/V cord. I'm sadly new to the MSX scene and don't know where to grab a cord, so here's my plea. I'd love to pick one up, so contact me and we'll work it out. Thanks!

hello

I have RGB-cables in stock, (to scart)

Thanks for the tip. I should have mentioned I am in the United States, so I'd need something NTSC compatible. Thanks!

Weel, Panasonic FS-A1 is a Japanese machine and the output is NTSC. Your problem is getting a non-SCART compatible cord. ¿What kind of connection your TV/monitor has?

I can use RF, Composite RCA jacks, or S-Video. Any of them are fine.

For you the better choice looks the svideo cable, for the audio you must use a RCA cable you can buy them in any electronics/tv shop.

Maybe it suits for you:

Of course it seems like you'd need a RGB-cable with scart ending too.

No, It a panasonic, it must have svideo output and 2 rca for video and audio.

Um, only MSX2+ and TurboR Panasonics have S-Video. On my stock unmodified FS-A1 I have DIN-8 and regular RCA jacks for audio and composite video.

Composite video is ok for games, horror for 80 character mode software. I assume the topicstarter wants something better then composite.

Actual S-Video is really quite good for 80-character software, but FS-A1 doesn't has it. I didn't look inside FS-A1, but if it by any chance uses CXA1145, adding S-Video is relatively simple task: link.

A Ok, very interesting the svideo mod.

Thanks for all the responses, everyone. I'm actually ok with composite. This is my first MSX and just want to play with it, not very worried about amazing image quality. Just want the easiest option, since mine never came with the stock cord.

BTW, if someone has a picture of the back of the MSX (I don't have mine yet) I could probably figure it out myself - I don't even know what the jacks on the back look like.

just get a cable from repair bas!
