Cable you linked for the vx works perfectly plugged all the way in. However, I had to put the red cable in the yellow video input for it to work, not sure why. the other two can go in either way doesnt seem to matter since it down mixes to mono. Hopefully this comment helps someone else as I was pulling my hair out before trying to swap cables around just for the F of it!

Those cables that are sold on Amazon have a * in the description stating that the video/audio might be switched. So I assume they are advertising cables with both configurations but just sending out these ones.

You are a god for this!!! This inspired me to play around with my cables and have found that what works best for me since I have multiple cameras is: -2.5/3.5mm a/v from camera out to RCA -RCA to 3.5mm into PowerPlay and from there just swap the RCA plugs in between until you get video and audio in the Powerplay. So far, it's worked with a few Sharp, Panasonic, and Sony cameras. It's much bulkier than your solution but I do not have your patience to make my own cables for each camera.

Just modded out cable with the TRRS Terminal and it works like a dream! One thing that he touched on is that it feels not so secure even though connectors are screwed as far as they go. Once i got them tied down i glued the fuck out on them to stay in place and wrapped it in heat shrink.

I bought a PowerPlay a while ago as a monitor and recorder for my thermal cameras. I made a cable myself with a TRRS breakout in between - but also bought five of these screw terminal TRRS cables and now I am using this instead. But I am not happy with the encoding quality of the PowerPlay, I get 1-2mbps at most as the signal is monochrome. the old cam corders might actually have better quality if you get one with firewire out.

Do you have a solution for 3rca to 3.5mm? My camera doesn't have AV but the 3rca to 3.5mm works but only plugged in 2/3 of the way. I thought just swapping the rca cables around would do the trick but it doesn't.

Hi, i didnt buy the power play but i bought another similar digital recorder with the same issue and it didnt come with the aux cable the power play came with. So i bought my own trrs 3 5mm cable and despIte having the 3 rings and being labeled trrs, it only had 3 wires inside. Can you send me a link to a trrs cable i can do this with? Thank you!

hey there! just got a quick question. I recently got a new microphone for my TRV900, as the one I bought off ebay had a broken internal mic and the XM-8 Shotgun mic it came with was being weird and not always picking up audio. With the new microphone, the only way I can get it to pickup audio is by unplugging and plugging the powerplay back in after pressing record. any idea on why this is happening or what I could do to fix it?

Im using the powerplay on my vx2100 works perfectly fine with the 3.5mm to rcd av cable I bought from Amazon. full crispy clips and perfect audio. But after purchasing 2 more camcorders the vx2000 model this set up only records video with no audio. Same situation with both vx2000. are they different outputs? don't even know where to start as iv bought 3 different rcd av to 3.5mm jack and none work at all!. just purchased this cable you have linked for the vx so hoping this solves my issues, anyone else know a fix to this issue would highly appreciate a point in the right direction, cheers!!
