Not been around for a while but think I remember some comment about "RGB feed through" being a problem on the above.

Have recently purchased a 210 and find that feeding RGB from the satellite to the DVD and then from the DVD to the TV gives an inferior picture to a direct connection between sat. and TV. It looks almost as bad as composite, including a reduction in contrast and severe fluctuation on character edges when viewing the Sky menu for example, have checked all settings and tested leads.

One thing I haven't checked is to record direct from SCART as above, then playback and compare to a direct connection from Sat. to TV, ie, to confirm it is just feed through that is poor quality and that the actual record/playback quality is OK, if that were the case I could use an RGB "splitter" and not have to watch the satellite through the DVD.

Does anyone have any info on the above problem, is it a known fault that can be rectified, if it can't be remedied then it's unusable.

Thanks.

For the sake of any body else who has this problem, and there will be many, I have 'phoned Sony and it is a known fault, the problem can be rectified by a Sony dealer.
