You could pick up a cheap vcr that has s-video out. Then with the audio out (white and red cables), have them go into a reciever. Then you could have a nice sound system.

Probably about $50 at Walmart?

sell ti and get an lcd tv, less hassle and still slimline.

I had thought about the sound thing and found this. I'd like to test it somewhere and hear the loudness and sound quality though.

Who buys VCR&#39;s these days.
especially for 200.

Those dell speakers are probably so shitey. Any pair of 20 dollar regular computer speakers would be better.

What about this. Run the cable(coax) from the wall to the VCR &#39;in&#39;. Then from VCR out, connect an adapter (coax to s-video) to the monitor? Then use an identical adapter for going from the monitor to the VCR.

patching together a bunch of separate electronics will work, but you will lose picture quality and waist electricity
I suggest you get one of these http://resellerratings.dealtime.com/xDN-Mi...a_CT1~CR-1~DW-0
will do exactly what you want and as a plus you can "back up" tapes and DVDs

I think this is what you&#39;re looking for.

Didnt see any stores that sold vcr&#39;s with s-video out. Except of course that one above. Ill keep looking though.

That doesn&#39;t have any coax to s-video converters. The conversion is the main problem.

Backups won&#39;t matter. The monitor won&#39;t even be connected to a pc.
