Connect a line input or head phone to the video cinch to see,
emm hear if there is any signal.
You must hear a loud (on the phone:very very silent) sharp 25Hz noice.

Which indications do you have that your TV is accepting video
signal on that cinch plug? (Try your old VDR)

If you have "SCART" remember that there are two kind of them.
One for VCRs and one for TV. The better of them have a switch
to select the direction of the video.
