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)
