Title: Is this cable from MBR???
Post by: hardlock on February 14, 2016, 07:36:57 PM
Finally found the box for my MBR after many years of it being lost.  Inside was a micro to mini (? large and small flat types) USB cable.  However, on the standard size plug end are also 2 RCA jacks?  One yellow and one white.  Nothing in the manual on this and can't find anything online showing it either.  Closest I can come is a USB on one end and 2 RCAs with those colors on the other end but no second USB connector.  That one is for an Olympus camera.

Any ideas what this is for? (and can I use it safely with the MBR less the RCAs?)

Thanks!
Ken

It's from your Olympus camera.

If you want to know what it's for and can't find your manual, you can download one here:

By the way, a yellow RCA plug is almost always for composite video. So that was my first clue that this cable wasn't for your Micro BR.

Hey 64!  Thanks much!  Wonder if the RCAs use empty pins on the USB so it could be used as a normal USB cable for other things?  It came with my used BR and I never had a reason to use it til now.... :)
