What model did I buy, (wdbaap0000nbk-01) and how to connect the composite signals?

Here’s a pinout link: http://pinoutsguide.com/Home/wd_tv_tvout_cable_pinout.shtml

(ignore the “Alternative Component pinout”)

As a test i found a Standard Component to 3.5mm cable (On the LEFT)

Checked with a multi meter:

1 = RED

2 = BLUE

3 = GREEN

4 = GROUND

Compared to the WDTV Component to 3.5mm cable (On the RIGHT)

it measures:

1 = GREEN

2 = BLUE

3 = RED

4 = GROUND

So, since they are reversed… i hooked up my old WDTV Live to the TV using the Standard Cable (non-wd)

RED    into GREEN input on the TV

BLUE  into BLUE input on the TV

GREEN into RED input on the TV

Worked fine :smiley:

I don’t have a Standard 3.5mm to Composite cable to test … but i’ll bet the pinouts are also reversed…

WD

1 = YELLOW

2 = WHITE

3 = RED

4 = GROUND

STANDARD

1 = RED

2 = WHITE

3 = YELLOW

4 = GROUND

So a Standard cable would be hooked up like this

RED    into YELLOW input on the TV

WHITE  into WHITE input on the TV

YELLOW into RED input on the TV
