Samsung Wave TV OUT cable

[wayfarer]

Do I need a SAMSUNG specific cable to connect the wave's TV-out to a TV?

This phone uses the 3.5mm 4pin (TV out is the same jack as the headset i.e. on top centre of the phone).

I already have a working 3.5mm 4 pin (works with another device) that looks identical to the one that I see shown on the internet, (and I connect Yellow to Yellow, Red to Red, White to White) but it doesn't work with the s8500.

1. I enable TV out: Settings - Connectivity - TV out
2. Set PAL as the encoding
3. Select external input on TV
4. NO signal detetected by TV

I have tried this on two separate TVs. My TVs' AV inputs work fine with dstv and computer's TV-out.

This procedure is exactly as described on Page 96 of the WAVE user manual - am I missing something? If a special cable is needed, where can I get one?

Thanks

Any success? I am looking for the wave - RCA cables

Ok since the replies was so overwhelming I phoned the Samsung CT agents and they say that it would only be available in a few months time. Not good! But still GREAT phone.

Try each cable in each port. eg. white to yellow. red to yellow. and so on. Some companies change it around so you "have" to buy their cable.

That was the first thing I tried; no luck. Anybody had success on this one yet?

I've seen on various forums that the Nokia CA-75U cable works perfectly, but I haven't tried it myself.

It's your cable. Samsung uses a a different connector set up. That Nokia cable you mentioned should work, alternatively have a look on ebay. I bought mine for around R30 including shipping. It's for the Galaxy S but that has the same connector set up as the Wave
