I have the same problem, with my gear under the TV, though if I plug my
Dreamcast into SCART2 I get nothing at all, other than a black screen.

Also, the sound quality on SCART2 is a lot worse than SCART1 (it would have
to be for me to notice it)

It's a Philliphs 32" wide screen TV, rented from Box Clever.

I'm going to get the TV exchanged for another (quoting the above problems
as
the reason) so I'm not that bothered, but it's interesting that someone has
the same problem.
