Hi Jeddy,

Which scart connector do you use? Not every connector supports RGB.

If you use the first one (probably the second too) , which will support RGB, you'll notice the difference when you are switching between CVBS and RGB.

Beobuddy.

I'm connecting it to the left most one (looking from the rear) which I assume to be the first one. Yes, I do notice a difference when switching to RGB, but as soon as I hit stop or Exit it goes back to CVBS. 🙁

 My Tivo is connected to scart 2 (the middle one) and that does the same thing. You are however right in that scart 3 doesn't have RGB, this is confirmed by going into the Picture adjustment menu while watching scart 3 and the option 11, Colour Adjust is missing from the menu.

 Thanks.
 

hi

chek that the scart cabel in the stb is put in tv not vcr (only tv has rgb out) and that is setup to cvbs/rgb.

is the scart cabel full mont. cabel?(21 wire) 

the bv3 automatic shifts to rgb or s/vhs if der is signal else cvbs...

Hi,

The scart cable in the STB is definately in the TV socket and the STB is definately setup to output RGB+CVBS however you have raised a good point as to whether the cable is 21 wire, I assume it is as otherwise when I manually select RGB on the Bv3 I wouldn't notice a difference (or it wouldn't allow me to select it / show a picture), but will check later.

Thanks,
Jeddy

Maybe a silly question, but did you press GO to store the setting before leaving the menu? 

 There's no such thing as a silly question when you are trying to help somone who doesn't know much!

Indeed I have tried selecting RGB and then selecting Go and then List / Exit to get back out of the service menu but to no avail.

I would suggest you check that your SCART cable is a fully wired version

I've just checked the cable and it has 20 pins - I assume the 21 referenced above includes the surround as there is only space for 20 pins. Do you get cables with the full complement of pins but without matching wiring inside the cable, if so is there a way to tell if mine is fully wired inside?

 Thanks,

Jeddy
 

Jeddy,

You do indeed get cables with all the pins in the plug, with some only part wired, in fact it is the norm to have all the pins in the SCART plugs, what normally gives it away is the size (diameter) of the cable. But the only full proof way is to either open the plug or check it with a meter.

However, if you have brought a quality cable, then it would normally have all the pins connected.

Thanks Keith,

Meter out, cable checked, all wires appear to be present and correct, each pin on one end connects to a pin on the other end.

Is there anything else I could be doing wrong, could this be a s/w version issue or do I potentially have a h/w problem with my set?

Many thanks,

Jeddy
