According to cedmagic.com, the GEC V5000H had factory stereo RCA output. http://www.cedmagic.com/museum/ced-play ... 5000h.htmlAnything which says "no" in the specifications list is missing.

You are better off looking for adapters, the one on the left looks like a BNC the other is some type of antenna? So you need to get a BNC to composite video adapter or whatever it really is to what you need to plug in. I can plug that directly into my telly no problem, the issue is more that RF output severely degrades the video quality.by comparison to composite video with separate audio) (Incidentally that's not BNC, it's Belling-Lee - the standard connection in the UK for terrestrial television antennas).

Just to add in again. I have followed this guide (quoted below) to successfully add RCA output to 2 of my players. However, they were both RCA SFT 100's so your mileage may vary seeing as the player you're inquiring about isn't even mentioned in the post. It is my understanding that CED players are native composite which is then modulated into RF. So if you tap in before the modulator, you should be fine. The PCB in my players were very well labeled. From: https://www.cedmagic.com/home/cedfaq.htmlQuote: Can separate Audio/Video connectors be added to my CED player that does not have these built-in? With many CED players it is possible to add these connections, in fact, you may come across a CED player with auxiliary connectors already installed. But before installing these, note the following warning from RCA's service literature:
"DESIGN ALTERATION WARNING-- Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this VideoDisc Player. Design alterations and additions, including, but not limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of items such as auxiliary audio and/or video output connections, cables, and accessories etc. might alter the safety characteristics of this VideoDisc Player and create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions may void the manufacturer's warranty and may make you, the servicer responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom."
With the above disclaimer noted, it is still possible for a knowledgeable electronics technician in possession of the player's service manual to perform a safe installation.
A/V output jacks can be added to the RCA SFT100, SGT075, SGT100, SGT101, SJT090, SJT100, SJT101, SKT090, SKT100, and Zenith VP2000, which, if well shielded, will markedly improve the quality of the audio and video sent to the television monitor itself equipped with separate A/V input jacks. All other CED player models came from the manufacturer with separate A/V jacks already installed. RCA provided audio and composite video test points on the signal processing board to which a set of external A/V jacks can be connected with a length of shielded wire. The audio and composite video test points are, respectively, TP3601 and TP3409 on the F, G, and Zenith players, and TP3504 and TP3410 on the J and K players. On the actual circuit boards inside the players, these test points are labeled TP601, TP409, TP04, and TP10, since it is standard practice to drop identical leading digits when labeling a related section of circuit board. After installation, it may be necessary to adjust the screw on the video level resistor R3202 to get a balanced image, and the original RF and added A/V outputs should not be used simultaneously.
