Page 1 of whats best dvd connections/scart,svhs,composite,etc

has anybody got any suggestions about the best settings,the reason i ask is that ive just changed my dvd player, and the old one had a scart lead as the only connection that came with it.
now the new one has only got composite cables, but i have connected it with the scart lead i had spare.ive always been lead to believe that scart was best.
anybody any ideas, any suggestions would help.

Avoid composite (worst picture quality out of the three/four options you have) like the plague, and stick with your SCART connection.

You should be able to `configure` the SCART signal in your DVD player`s menu (which model is it ?).

If your TV is capable of accepting an RGB signal (and your DVD can output it - most can), then opt for that. You may also want to try configuring the SCART to S-Video (again, check your TV can handle this signal - in either case if the telly doesn`t you`ll get a black and white picture) : it`s a thin-line between RGB and S-Vid and probably down to personal preference at the end of the day.

Now, if you had a top Tosh telly or a projector and COMPONENT video you`d be laughing, because that`s the ultimate DVD picture quality.
