"This is a CD player, not a DVD player. You've been scammed"

Not really. The cords are all the same inside, the colors are just for convenient matching of the ends.

If both ports are the same color, and wire has the same color on both ends, you're fine. You can send yellow through a red cable. I've definitely had a few times where all I had were a couple of loose cable pairs and it works fine.

I remember when we upgraded to cable and I had to get a box for the TV in my room that only had the VHF/UHF input.

Looked like this:

Mmm, yes.

I had to use Channel 4. VCR was on 3.

Fun fact, my GameCube and my NES used the same RF adapter.

RF Modulator

chonggg...tk

And then it couldn't perform for a few minutes — for another good degauss you had to wait a bit for another good one, like an orgasm

To be fair thats probably easier than blindly plugging in hdmi, its like usb but so much worse

We had a couple in our house for a while. We were gifted an Atari 2600 and that was designated a lowly b/w video source. So I never played any of those games in color. Sometimes it was difficult to figure certain things out

Yeah component cables (the RGB ones) could be mixed up and man did it make for some psychedelic pictures.

Maybe, if you were rich enough to have the green and blue plugs and not just yellow, white and red. Normal composite only had one plug for video, component had three plus the two for audio.

You could a little with the later component cables where there were separate ones for the different colors, but the "original" composite cables (yellow, red, and white) only had one video cable and the other two were left and right sound. You could get odd patterns in the static with the sound plugged into the video port, but that was about it. Before that was the single coaxial cable that carried video and sound together, so there wasn't easily available messing with that without damaging the cable or doing magnetic or RF shenanigans against an unshielded cable.

That said, if you get into messing with some of the old hardware in different ways, you can get some real wild effects from those old analog media standards/hardware/cables.

There's small communities online doing stuff with it. Search for analog glitch art, analog data moshing, and circuit bending (although that last one is more abusing where digital circuits and hardware are susceptible to analog style weirdness due to basic physics of how electric signals work "analogly" between components).

I think it's just some random art. OP usually uses something like that behind their words.

Personally, I dig this one.

SCART wasn't just for PAL. In fact, as a French standard it was used with SECAM from day 1.
