Picture too far left (Region 1 thru RGB scart)

Eric Cartman (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Monday, 4th June 2001, 23:10

I have a Wharfedale M5 hooked up to a Wharfedale CTV 850 widescreen tele thru a scart connection with RGB output selected.

Something common which I`ve seen occur on different setup`s also is that when playing Region 1 dvds the picture shifts to the left about an inch. To avoid a more severe problem (jerkiness on playback) Multisync output has been selected as oppose to PAL for TV type.

Region 2 (PAL) dvds are fine for position.

Any ideas what might be causing this shift and is it something I have to accept or is there a workaround that doesn`t compromise my correct Region 2 setup ?

The NTSC system outputs 60hz. You TV probably can not properly handle this signal through RGB. Perhaps you can adjust this through a service menu of some sort.

RGB picture shift is quite common, although unwanted.

It can be fixed with some televisions in the service menu or on others by selecting NTSC358 or PAL in the tv menu (providing the tv has that option).
