I have 2 scart sockets on the back of my TV, i have for the last 2 months or so had my DVD connected to av2. I had noticed poorish picture quality but never watched movies that much to be really bothered about it. Today I had a clear up of wires at the messy place called "the back of the TV cabinet" and connected my player to av1. To say the picture quality was 200% better would be an understatement. Why would this be?? Also I have in the past isolated the audio connections on the scart leads to eliminate an annoying crackling sound. My conclusion is duff scart conns on the TV as now everything that can connect to my TV does, through AV1. Is this a problem I can remedy myself?? Any budding TV repairers got any ideas?? Any help is appriciated
Ta very much

On most TVs AV1 supports RGB which is a supperior connection to the composite video you would have been getting through the AV2 socket. The "duff scart conns" that you think may be the problem could be down to a poor quality scart lead! How good is your scart lead? I`m p***ed so thats about all your getting out of me. Someone with a better understanding will be along soon to explain in more detail.

My scart leads are "free with the kit" type ones. I have thought about getting new cables but I`m a tight fist and begrudge paying out 30 quid on new cables if that aint going to be my problem. This crackling sound I was getting was more prominent with Sky digi broadcasts, Dvd not so much but still present and PS2 most definitely. I got a 28ins Samsung widescreen btw...if that helps
