Pioneer D1 computer input?

I was wondering if it is possible to plug in a laptop computer as a video input into the D1.
Thanks

yes if the video input needed is a regular rca composite input then it should work fine, but for VGA or S-Video input the D1 does not support.

many laptops nowadays have a s-video output. its easier to find a convertor for those. there may even be adapters for your laptop.

For S-video output u will need the converter to an RCA video plug.

For audio output from your laptop it uses a minijack so you have to purchase another adaptor. A standard mini to RCA audio.

Heres a cable that does both, http://www.cablestogo.com/product.as...2012&sku=27990
