Yep, it would be better to modify some speaker cable elevators

But at £30 for 4, wouldn't he be better off spending the money on a
better quality SCART lead?


If the cable is on the carpet then it needs to be good quality and
well insulated. Otherwise the carpet could be damaged by a salt water
leak next time you watch Coast.

Now you're being silly. Everyone knows that the ink that travels down the
SCART cables doesn't contain sal****er...!

Seaside programmes can be a pain but programmes with pubs and breweries
make up for them. Pint glasses make the ideal cable elevators and have
the added benefits of catching the leaks

It sounds as though the output of the VCR is mismatched in some way to
the input expected by the DVD-R, perhaps because you have connected
S-Video out from the VCR to an RGB input on the DVD-R. S-Video
Chrominance and RGB Red share the same SCART pins:

You may be able to correct this by either using a different socket, or
configuring the one you're using in the setup menus, to match the
output from the VCR. Take a close look at the DVD-R's manual
regarding the wiring of its sockets and their configuration in menus.
If you change the configuration away from RGB In, it'd probably be
best to restore the setting once the job is done.

Only when I play a VHS tape, the whites on my TV are a bit pinkish.

Can this be due to inexpensive scart cables?

I suppose it's a possibility eh?

I'm now using the other VCR I have. Whites now pretty much white,
although whites "over exposed" somewhat on this other VCR.

Not a scart problem as one poster said.
