Howto: Connecting an MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box to an old US/NTSC analog TV set
I have a need to connect my newly acquired MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box to an old US/NTSC analog TV set through its A/V port. So, I bought this inexpensive A/V Cable For Android Tv Box to connect them. When I powered up my TV Box, it showed the video was in an out of sync black/white mode. After getting some helps from lead and Faith24 shown in this discussion thread, I now managed to fix the PAL/NTSC display problem and be able to enjoy my MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box on my old US/NTSC analog TV set through its A/V port.
The following is the list of steps I took on how to fix the problem:
The following is the list of steps I took on how to fix the problem:
- First, connect the MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box through its HDMI port to the 3-RCA ports on the old US/NTSC analog TV set using this Mini HDMI2AV Signal Converter (borrowed from a friend) so the video will be properly displayed on the TV set.
- Boot the MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box and navigate through to the setting menu as shown below.
- Select the Display sub-menu and make sure the Screen resolution button is selected (don't press OK button at the remote control, yet).
- Now, unplug the HDMI cable off the MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box and the Mini HDMI2AV Signal Converter from the old US/NTSC analog TV set.
- Plug the A/V cable to the A/V port on the MXQ Pro Android 5.1.1 S905 OTT TV Box and the 3-RCA plugs to the old US/NTSC analog TV set. In my case, the 3-RCA plugs I bought has the video signal on the RED RCA plug. The old US/NTSC analog TV set should show the Display sub-menu in an out of sync black/white mode.
- Now, press the OK button on the remote control to get into the Screen resolution sub-menu. At this stage, the video on the TV set is still in an out of sync black/white mode. But, let's assure it is in the 576 cvbs mode as shown below.
- Now, press the up button once to select the 480 cvbs mode and the video in the TV set will now be in sync mode.
