Page 1 of Black/white problems

Hi i have a Toshiba SD-120E Multi region dvd player and a Sony super triniton KV-29F3U tv.Both do not have NTSC converters so region 0 and NTSC signals come out in black and white. I connect via AV1 using a scart lead ,on RGB i get sound but no picture. Is there anything i can do other than buy a converter? Thanks for any help

I bought an earlier model SD110 chipped from techtronics for use on a naiko 28" widescreen.To my horror it gave B&W in scart1.They told me my tv was not ntsc compatible and i would have to change it or buy a converter.I bought a converter for around £35 which works ok.Through reading this forum i discovered i could change the output on my dvd via onscreen menu to rgb output and get a colour picture when connected to scart1 with a fully wired scart lead.Are you sure your lead is fully wired.As an aside i have also bought an alba 108 dvd which is great,multiregion out of the box and a built in convertor all for £70.

Not sure what you mean by my scart lead being fully wired. All i get thru my t.v. on RGB is sound. Makes no difference if i put my DVD player thru RGB. Thanks for the reply.

"Fully wired" means that all of the pins of the SCART are connected via the cable. Some SCART cables are wired to carry composite video only, which means they won`t work in RGB mode.

You can easily verify this by looking at one of the SCART plugs - does it have a full set of 20 pins or are there pins missing? If it has 20 pins, open up the plug and make sure each one of these pins has a wire soldered to it. If that`s the case, then it is fully wired.
