        @edmaul69 Thank you, but I still have doubts.. Which is the ground you are using? My cable has 1 ground for L-Audio 1 Ground for R-Audio and 1 Ground for Video. I soldered the Video Ground to pin 8 but my problem persists... Any help?

          @Joanesthefool all the grounds can get grounded to the big posts. If you are using a coax adapter you have to add a 5v wire. Can i see a pic of your plug and the bottom of the board where the wires are soldered?

            @Joanesthefool what cable are you using? If it is an old cable then the red and yellow could be backwards or the grounds are on the wrong pin.

                @Joanesthefool i know your problem. You need to solder the red video ground to a big ground post like you did the other two grounds. Use the ones on the other side. Looking at an actual sony cables pins, the video ground pin isnt even there which means it is using the sheilding ground.
