RE: SCART weirdness

Hi Justin,

 

SCART 2 on most sets can be set to output a signal for recording via the TV. Check in the menu options.

Your 5m SCART lead is probably insufficently screened and is suffering bleedthrough causing the bad picture.

 

If you only require an INPUT on SCART2 then open the plug at the TV end and remover the wire from Pin 19 (Video Out)

 

Sony TV's suffer quite badly fom bleedthrough on SCART leads as they output really strong signals. I have had similar with my JVC.

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
