Hey all,
hope Im in the right area for this q or 2.....
also did a search on this and other forums but no luck,here goes
Just installed this... http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/L6111
anyways its working a treat does all its supposed to etc etc,anyways it has a single yellow RCA AV output to put into the yellow tv input this is where my prob begins,I put it into 1 tv (doenst matter what brand/type) and it has a crystal clear picture but as soon as I put a RCA piggyback http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefro...duct/View/P6612 into the tv and plug the other RCA in she goes a bit fuzzy in the pic quality.
Tried different RCA leads-no luck
Tried leavin adaptor in and took the piggybacked RCA from garage out she works fine,so I tried my lil 7"kids dvd viewer,samsung in the bedroom and garage and it does the same so that sorta eliminates the TV side of it.
Could the AV output from the CCTV HDD box not be strong enuff to signal more than 1 TV? ifso can this signal be boosted?
Any ideas???
Thanks guys
Cheers

A 'distribution amplifier' is probably what you're after.

Yeah as the self-distructo-man suggest a signal amplifier should sort you out. Jaycar and DSE have signal amplifiers which would be suitable

Cheers guys I shall have me a looksy.....
Was in a few shops y/day and most of the LCD/Spasmas had a real grainy look to em.But i figured theses were all in the same boat as me running multiple TVs from 1 source playing of all thing Dr Phil......was nearly a suicide in the entertainment area!!!
2-3 TVs were playing there own DVDs and the pic quality was tops as they didnt have other units plugged in.
That was the only assumption I could come up with.

$700 for the unit,thought 4 x 20mt cables would be plenty.......wrong, ended up buying another 6 x 20mt camera cables.....that wasnt cheap,live and learn!
That 29 dollar jobbie is exactly whats me needs as it has rca leads already.
The other boxes looked like BNC type i think

you'll need a 12V PSU for it.
