This will probably be a little controversial since many of you think it would be defacing a Super CDROM2 by installing component jacks.  I am still kicking around the idea of replacing the stock DIN on it.  The only thing keeping me from that is the lack of component to DIN cables (at least I cant find one that has component and sound in the same cable).  And I've never built a cable like that, so I'm afraid it will come out looking like hacked ass.

I can't seem to find any pics of a Super CDROM with component jacks.  What do you think?  Straight out the back (what i'm leaning towards).  The power side or av side?  Someplace I havent thought of yet?

If you have done this mod to your console let me know how it worked out.  Even if you dont have a Super CDROM, I'm open to inputs.

I prefer to keep the stock look on my systems as much as possible.  I have done component mods on the duo's using the din 8 and make my own din 8 to component rca's using these:

thanks, turbo.  i may reconsider building a cable.  first time for everything.  there's not much cost involved, so i could screw up a few times.

As for another option you could always mount a DIN in the PC engine itself to avoid doing any modding to the CD drive.
