I have four scarts on my Philips tv, two are RGB, and two are CVBS only. I gather that the RGB is the best, but what does `CVBS only` mean and what effect does it have if I connect to it, what do I lose? Similarly on the side/fron is a s-video input (4 pin) is this the best option for a camcorder, or do I continue to plug it into the white/red/yellow inputs alongside it? thanks, `Kev the Novice`

CVBS means Composite video. the worst quality connector for dvd.
S-Video should give you better picture quality for playback with you camcorder.
RGB Scart is th best.
Composite mixes all the colours together in one wire and this cause crosstalk etc (bad picture quality). RGB keeps the colours separate to prevent this cross talk.
With the white/red/yellow inputs the white and red are left and right audio and the yellow is composite.
