I would appreciate an answer. Thank you very much i hope i didn't confused you.... :-) |

(i think it's what you're calling s-video) if it isn't an RGB cable, then that is what your problem is. you can't view an RGB signal unless you maintain an RGB signal path. it sounds like you're trying to mix and match signals. just use whatever input your monitor is designed to use. if it's best input is s-video, then use s-video cable and signal. if you have an RGB input on your TV, then use an RGB cable when you switch to that mode. |

It is not used in the US. See: http://utopia.knoware.nl/users/eprebel/SoundAndVision/Engineering/SCART.html george dr: Over here the best hookup for transferring analog video only is the 3 RCA rgb cords. We call it the "component" connection. Eventually, the market will move to a digital video connector, most likely DVI or HDMI--which look like, but are not the same as scart connectors. My suggestion is that you seek counsel from wherever you obtained the TV and/or the DVD player for best hookup. |

Check to make sure your t.v is not set to progressive scan mode whilst using a scart rgb cable. Easiest way to tell if your t.v has p.scan is to check on the back and see if it has a component connection. reason i say this, is that progressive scan will not operate properly without a component cable and will distort when using a scart. |
