Did Pioneer ITV digital boxes have RGB pass thru?

Does anyone know if the Pioneer ITV digital boxes with twin scarts had RGB
pass thru?

My wife and I have are giving her mother a DVD player for xmas. The one
scart on the tv is already used for the Freeview box. I could supply an
RGB switch box but would prefer a simpler solution.

I'm sorry I don't have a model number as she is some miles away. The box
was purchased when Freeview was just starting although it does have ITV
digital written on it.

Thanks for any help.


Cheers,

Bob.

Why are you bothering with switching stuff to make it all complicated !
You can plug the output from the DVD player to the VCR socket on the
freeview box. Then when you want to watch a DVD it will show automtically.

Only if it passes RGB, which was the question being asked!

See the OP any response.
doing as you suggest he will only get composite video then from the DVD
player and the better RGB will be lost.

Except that it won't have the same picture quality as an RGB signal. That's
why I bought a 4 into 1 scart box from Argos on special offer at £9.99. It
includes a built-in flylead so I didn't have to buy an additonal scart
cable.

Do you know this for a fact? I have a VCR that will pass through RGB, even
though it can neither record or output it.

Ditto here but I've yet to find any digibox which will do the same. Any
evidence to the contrary would be most welcome.

A red herring but Sky digiboxes do. If they can why others can't fails me.

From the manul of a Pioneer DBR TF100GB :


• TV SCART
Output: CVBS, Controlled audio L/R, RGB,
S-VIDEO
• VCR SCART
Input: CVBS, Audio L/R, S-VIDEO, RGB
Output: CVBS, Audio L/R, S-VIDEO

One might assume that it would pass RGB through from the VCR Scart to the TV
Scart.

Many thanks for that Michael, I will make further enquiries into the
Pioneer. A friend owns two of these and is short of cash just now. I'm
gettting really fed up trying to remember whether I watched DVD or DTV
before I last sat down and having to throw the switches on the scart box
accordingly.
