Page 1 of Just got Scan2000..big problems..new to DVD..help..

Hello, Just got my first DVD , a Scan2000 and I`m having a few problems. I`ve connected my DVD to my TV via scart. Sound is working fine but the video output is completely kapputt. The images are ghostly "negative" images and they continually scrll horizontally across the screen, this includes all the menus, mp3 info etc. I`ve tested this on another TV and used a different scart but the results are exactly the same. Any help appreciated as the machine s utterly useless like this BTW have scan a website? Thanks in advance.. Paul.

I had a similar problem with mine - turned out to be the VCR interfering with the signal.

what else is plugged in to your tv?

Just the VCR, must try it with out it plugged in. I also tried it on another TV that had nothing else attached to it and had exactly the same problems.

there are a few things you could try

firstly, make sure the video output in the player setup menu is set up for your tv, i.e. PAL (if your tv is PAL obviously) muck about with the scart output - mine is set to RGB.

you may also be able to alter your TV scart inputs - sometimes they are setup for a specific input - what kind of TV is it, does it have s-video and composite inputs?

sadly, there is also the possibilty that the machine is buggered.

It`s set to PAL and RGB from what I can read of the scrolling negative display. The TV I`v e tried it on only have scart inputs and both have the same results. I`m starting to come to the conclusion as yourself..it`s buggered!

funny, that`s the kind of things i get (scrolling) when I plug my Playstaion in the TV (via Scart) but put a channel on instead of the AV channel.

Try putting the AV channel manually on the TV.
although it should switch to it automatically (but my play doesn`t on my TV) maybe your scart connection is faulty. Have you tried with a different cable?

The sc-2000 defaults to rgb.Set the setting to composite and try it.Usually when you connect a dvd player set to rgb and connect to a non
rgb socket you will get this problem.

paul - did nelleys suggestion work?

Unfortunately not. It`s now set to composite ( I think) I say this because of the distorted and scrolling image sent to the TV screen it`s almost impossible to read the display! I really am stumped - I have been trying for hours now. Have Scan a website or a support number?

Another victim!
