Page 1 of S Video Problem
Hardware Forum
My Brother has just got a davs800 & when he connects it to his Panasonic Widescreen via a S Video to Scart lead...he gets a picture only its in black and white...any one got any ideas???
Cheers
Check the TV manual : it may be the case that you have to configure the TV SCART socket in a menu somewhere so that it reads the S-Video signal correctly : it won`t be set as default (otherwise everything you connect to that SCART would be black and white, funnily enough !).
Failing that, it could be the case that the SCART-SVideo lead is the wrong way around (the signal is one-directional) : you must ensure you use one that specifically states FROM S-Video TO SCART.
