Beosystem 2 Activating RGB on SCART Inputs

4 replies

Hi is this possible at all, have hooked up my Apple TV first gen to the Beosystem 2 first gen, everything works except for having colour (on my B&O plasma) which is missing, any clue whether I can change RGB settings for the SCART input?

Hi Robert the sockets labelled as vmem and av (scart 1 & 2) are already RGB enabled. AV3 is not! However if I remember rightly you need a component to composite video converter to see colour. I am sure someone else can just confirm this?!

I checked all SCART connections and none display colour, I have purchased the JS technology converter in the link below (a rip off for what it does), unfortunately no colour yet...seriously start to doubt whether the ATV works properly, will hook it up to a PC monitor or so to see if it will show in colour at all...

I used to have a apple tv 1st. gen with a beosystem - used the atv hack from firecore:

There are other methods as well - something like composite hack?

Take a look at  or this (so using composite / rca to scart).
