just use the official rgb cable , and plug into any 2 of the 3 scarts on the back  ( i think scart 1 & 2 are rgb capable )

only problem is that the wii has a mediocre at best video out , which is odd considering it's basically a slightly faster gamecube and the gamecube had a very good rgb out - it even came boxed with an rgb scart if i recall !

don't bother buying the component lead - it's only of use ( supposedly ) for hd tv's , but since the wii doesn't even support hd - it's really rather pointless

the picture via the component leads in my experience shows no improvement over rgb ( that's through 4 different sd/hd lcd tvs ) so it's basically a waste of money

so we should disconnect the vcr scart then?

 -Edit: Or is it worth converting it to the coaxial/aerial plug since analogue is getting phased out and most have freeview/cable/sky?

hey, thanks for the speedy response.

I followed your advice and pressed LIST>FORMAT>6 and it worked perfectly!

Do I have to do this every time or is there a way of making it go to this setting when I switch the wii on?

I'm still currently using the red/yellow/white cables btw - will pick up the scart cable tomorrow (still not sure where best to connect it though)

Thanks for all your help - really appreciate it!

I was unaware that there were composite jacks on an old Avant. I have one with what appears to be all of the optional extras except PinP. However I only have a headphone jack and S-video connnector at the back of the control panel (the bit where the clock is). Am I looking in the wrong place. I also have many game consoles and thus composite jacks would come in handy.

 Thanks

There is a black cover in the middel of headphone and s-vhs pull this out. 😕

Excellent that will prove invaluable.

Thanks very much.
