At the moment, I have DVD, video etc. connected to TV's scarts directly. Sound is connected to apm. Now it makes a big confusion, because you need to use a few remotes to chose appropriate, sound and video source...
So, I decided to connect all those devices into AV amplifier and do the switching there, so I'll need only one remote.
I have 3 SCART connectors on the back of the TV (Sony 32"), but only one capable of receiving RGB.
On the amplifier side, I have only S-video out on S-video connector.
My question is: should I connect S-video on amp to S-video on SCART on TV, or I should find some convertor that will convert S-video to RGB and use RGB pins on SCART.
Will I see any difference in quality?
 
See www.rgbtosvideo.com for details of a convertor from RGB to S-Video (Y/C).  Since most AV amps switch in the S-Video and/or composite video domain (not RGB), this would be the best thing.
 
A scart socket can carry RGB, composite and S-Video - though not all at once.  Obviously your AV scart on the back of your TV will have to support S-Video (AV1 usually is RGB [plus composite] and AV2 and above will usually be S-Video capable depending on your model)
 
Confusing?  Thank the designers of the stupid scart socket - great idea in principle, poorly executed. (Cue Phil)
