Video Scart socket
Sorry to be a pain and I know this post was about s-video but I'm new and cannot post new topics right away but I have a question I need answered fast.
Does the scart socket on my video (Sony SLVE710 output RGB? Also I have a Sony DVNP700 DVD player which has a scart IN which you can connect the video to and the connect the DVD to the TV. I know that the DVD outputs RGB but if I connect my video to LINE 2 IN will the signal coming out of LINE 1 when watch the Video be RGB? Thanks for any help in advance David |

Exulus - Try here. Excellent return of post service. e.g. A 3 metre S-Video lead is £1-50 +VAT and postage. They are in Maidstone.

When I was in my local Maplins on Thursday, in the sale, they had set of a s-video lead and an optical lead reduced to a fiver instead of £15. Your local store might have the offer in too.
