Hi all
I know this is similar to previous questions but i can tfind a definate answer searching the archives.
Im trying to connect a laptop ( Svideo ) to my TV ( Scart ) - So ive borrowed a scart plug with an SVideo socket and three Phono sockets. After connecting an SVideo Cable to the scart adapter and laptop the image is Black & White ! The Svideo cable has 4 pins.
Any idea what im doing wrong ?
And wheres the best place to buy an Svideo->Scart cable ?
Hope you can help
Thanks in advance

Are you sure that the SCART socket(s) on your TV actually accept S-video input? Even if they do, you may have to change the TV`s input settings or use a different SCART socket (AV2 instead of AV1, for example). Check the manual!

im having the same kind of problem i think. i bought cable which takes the sound and picture seperatly, and connects to the scart on the back of my tv. i could only get a black and white picture. also, when i enabled the second monitor, my comp was running stupidly slow, making films almost unwatchable. ive got a pretty quick comp, so i was wondering whats going on.
