Not so weird really, if i remember correctly, often the second SCART is wired differently from the first one. Not a huge problem if you have multiple SCARTS or if they are all "fully connected", I think I remember having this problem on one or two sets. The answer is to use a SCART splitter box on SCART one or buy another set with all the SCARTS fully connected, trouble is you often don't know this until you get the set home!
 
What is unusual is that you are getting a picture at all, although this could be crosstalk in the internals of the set, bet that in your manual for the set it says that SCART 1 is an AV input/output and that SCART 2 is an input only for a camcorder or DTV box.

Hi all,
Recently joined the group and hoped someone here can offer some advice on the following problem.
 
I have recently moved my av gear into a cupboard putting it some distance from my TV so I purchased 2 x 5m SCART leads. When anything is hooked up to SCART 2 the picture is utter crap (like a badly tuned TV station), I mean it's just not watchable, however if I use SCART 1 the picture is fine.
 
If the picture was bad regardless which SCART socket was being used I would put it down to using 5m leads but it's only SCART 2 that is a problem.
 
Incidentally, everything was ok when the gear was under the TV.
 
Cheers
 
Justin
