PS1 screen using composite input not working

I'm attempting to use a composite signal through the jack on the front of the ps1 screen, as though it was plugged into a playsation. For some reason I don't get any signal. Does the screen use an RGB input from the playstation?

It only uses RGB from the Playstation, you'll need to plug into the 1/8" jack on the back (the one next to the headphone port) for composite.

Does it use composite synch, and if it does, will a dreamcast be able to output that while in RGB mode?

Yes it uses composite sync... I think most Dreamcast portables on these forums so far use the PSOne screen in RGB mode.

Well, I wasn't able to make it work with the playstation's av port, so I just strung a wire out the back to connect it via composite. Bummer, but it works.
