Soldering A/V jacks

Post by NESBest » Tue Jun 13, 2006 9:03 pm

if i was hardwiring a/v jacks straight to a gensis, do i just solder them to their correct points, or do they also need to be grounded because i know when soldering the female RCA jacks u must ground them and hook them to the ground poinnnnnnts. i just dont undersatnd how i would do this because my av chords only have one wire per signal.

its coaxial wire. two conductors. outside = ground, inside = signally goodness.
