Check if SCART 2 is expecting an S-Video signal. If it accepts S-Video, you should be able to set it up for standard composite video. I've also had problems with fully connected SCART leads in the past causing problems (apparent lack of sync, dark picture, screwed up colours - sound familiar?) - on those occassions, I've resolved it by cutting one of the function switching wires within the SCART plug (can't remember which, though). The fact that everything was alright before using the long leads might point to this problem.
 
Hope that's some help.
Steve

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
