SVideo Signal problem...

["Gareth Cook/STA/Lotus" <gcook@xxxxxxx>]

Guys

I have a setup where I run the AV cables
from the cabinet to the tv under the floor (see here www.garethcook.com,
then go to House Redecoration-Lounge, first picture)

Problem is - when connected to my LD
player or routed from my PC upstairs, if I play back an NTSC picture, it
flickers from black and white to colour a few times each second, with the
picture flickering diagonally). If I play a PAL picture it's all fine. A
PAL60 (from the PC) is fine - but hitting PAL on the LD player does
nothing, except show in black and white (but LD's were never that good at
switching standards...)

Now, I have 2 of these svideo cables -
both from Lektropacks, I thought they were shielded.....if I run the other
one externally (ie plugged into the player, and dangled outside) then if
works fine for NTSC. SO I would assume I am getting interference.

Anyone suggest a course of action for
reducing interference with the speaker, SCART and UHF cables going parallel
with them ? No power leads there (they all are run at 90 degree angles),
and the length of these cables is 5 metres...

Thanks

G.
