Commodore 64/128 AV Adaptor - S-Video Composite & 2ch Audio L/R

Great choice …

Handy way to get the higher-quality output from a C64 that would otherwise require an original, official Commodore color monitor. This way I can just plug the C64 into the S-Video input on a LCD television.

It works but it is lacking in quality. When plugged in it is not level - leans about 5 degrees to the left. Took the cover off to see why. The soldering is not very good so will have to redo it and see if I can twist the din connector to the proper angle. The case is ok. Didn't have any problem with it falling apart but lettering a bit wrinkled, it is just label tape not applied flat. It is better than my old broken cable, but I expected better for the price.

I have a vintage Commodore 64 computer and was looking for a solution to connect it to a modern HDTV. I tried a s-video to composite set of cables initially then I ordered off of eBay, which was supposedly made specifically for the Commodore 64, which created a picture but had issue with the sound. I ran across this on Amazon and ordered it as a last ditch effort. I am pleased to say that it worked from the moment I plugged it into the back of the 64. I would recommend plugging in your composite cables to the back of this adapter before you plug it into the back of the 64. Overall, it is a wonderful product that creates a great picture, great sound and for a very reasonable price. A+.

Will block your serial port on C128. Needs to clearly state that is description

These little plugs are great for making things easy by letting you use real A/V cables for composite and s-video. I have two of them, the s-video works fine but it does show the jail bars and artifact flaws of your VIC-II chip depending on it's revision (easy fix with a lumacode fix mod board). I mainly use it for the audio out since I have a lumacode rgbtohdmi mod installed in both my c64's but that mod doesn't affect s-video or composite use from the A/V port. So yeah, this little plug is worth buying if you want to use svideo (or use svideo to a vga converter box to upscale, which looks quite good but again, makes the vic-ii jailbars standout). This is cheaper than buying custom cables since it pretty much does everything (except for seperate chroma/luma cables that a real commodore monitor would take, but that's essentially what a S-video cable is anyway, just combined in to one). I would recommend this. And again, if you get one and the s-video has jailbars or artifacts, get a lumacode board fix and you can tweak that away, but the degree (if any) depends on the revision of your vic-ii chip. Oh and this is for the 8 pin version, there is a 5 pin version out there too for the older c64s that only have a 5pin video port. so make sure yours has 8 pins cause this is a 8 pin version.

Description is misleading. This will work with a 128/D but your serial port will be covered up. There is a different case configuration for the 128/D - this is not it.

The real advantage of the HoneyLans Commodore 64/128 AV Adaptor is how it allows you to use easily available, high-quality modern cables rather than hunting down the specialty cables from the 1980s or cheap modern remakes. Instead of being stuck with outdated options, this adaptor opens up access to S-Video and composite connections, which are much easier to find and often deliver better quality.The video output is sharp, especially with S-Video, and the audio is clear with no distortion. It’s well-built and plugs in securely, giving you a reliable connection without having to worry about fiddling with rare or worn-out vintage cables. For the price, it's a simple, cost-effective way to improve your Commodore 64/128 setup and make the most of modern AV equipment. Highly recommended for retro computing fans!
