Composite AV Cable for Sega Dreamcast — 1.8 m RCA Audio Video Lead
A replacement composite AV lead for the Sega Dreamcast.
Check compatibility
Fits every Sega Dreamcast — the moulded plug matches the AV socket on the back of the console and is keyed so it only goes in one way, with a small raised arrow on the plug body showing which way is up
Please note this is a composite cable, which is standard definition. It is not a VGA, RGB SCART or S-Video lead, and it will not give you a sharper picture than the composite output the console already provides
Key product details
- Picture and stereo sound in one lead — the yellow plug carries the video, the red and white plugs carry left and right audio
- 180 cm long (1.8 metres) — enough to reach from a console on a shelf or in a cabinet to the sockets on the back of a television
- Plugs straight into the yellow, red and white sockets on any TV, monitor, projector, VCR or capture device — nothing to power and nothing to set up
About this item
The wide moulded connector plugs into the AV socket on the back of the console and the three RCA plugs on the other end go into the matching yellow, red and white sockets on your television — the same arrangement the console originally shipped with.
Composite is the connection almost every owner uses, and it works with any television, monitor, projector, VCR or capture card that has the three coloured RCA sockets. There is nothing to configure and nothing to power. Plug it in and the console outputs picture and stereo sound straight away.
This console also supports VGA and RGB through separate leads and boxes. If you are chasing a sharper picture on a modern display, that is the equipment you want — this is the standard-definition composite lead, which is what the console outputs by default and what most CRT and older flat-panel televisions accept.
The lead is finished in black throughout, with a moulded strain relief where the cable meets each plug so the join is not taking the strain when the cable is pulled. The three RCA heads are colour-coded yellow, red and white to match the sockets they go into, and the console connector carries a raised arrow marking which way up it seats.
Complete your setup
HDMI-only TV? Use this composite AV lead with our composite AV-to-HDMI converter. It accepts yellow/red/white RCA plugs and needs a separate HDMI cable and suitable 5 V, 1 A USB power source; its USB power lead is included. It does not accept component video.
Missing the mains lead for a Dreamcast or Saturn with a matching figure-8 inlet? See our AU figure-8 mains lead. Match the inlet and console mains-voltage rating; the lead does not convert voltage.
