Hi Greg,

Congratulation for giving me the right idea.  You said I try,

Can you pass your pong device INTO a vcr or something like that that
and then to the ARGO?  Does it work then?

I did try it and it worked fine.  What would this means please?

By inverting the signal, do you mean that I send the signal into an
inverter?, or just reverse the polarity when it is connected to the ARGO AV
in?

Thanks,

John.
