And they have sod all to do with scart pins, i think the poster is confusing his composite and his component.

So what are the component<-->scart adapters for? They seem less common than composite<-->scarts and seem to often have warnings that they'll only work if the scart is 'properly enabled', but I haven't worked out what that means yet. -z- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm

Most only offer RGB, composite and S-Video over SCART, with component being a separate set of sockets. -- SteveH

Ah. So no use when I'm looking for something that is *common* on TVs then... I completely forgot to order the composite cable, I'll do it tomorrow. -zoara- -- email: nettid1 at fastmail dot fm
