TV SCART Guru: A challenge for you!
Hi!
I have a problem diagnosing the cause of dark picture while using RGB Scart.
I will try to explain:
I have an old TV set (early '80s model) which I guess is among the first of
having teletext and a scart connector. The "dark picture" problem appeared
when I tried to connect a brand new DVB-T box to the TV-set using the SCART
connector (RGB mode).
At first, I thought that I had a faulty box but when I tested it on a newer
TV-set and it worked flawlessly (excellent picture) I realized that the
problem was in the TV-set itself.
There is one important clue: In the box settings menu, I can select "RGB" or
"PAL" (composite)....but that makes absolutely no difference on my old
TV-set! It stays in "dark" RGB mode. But if tested on a newer TV-set, it
works as supposed!
Could the logics that read the blanking pin be broken, and could that be
causing the dark picture as well? Isn't my old and faithful TV-set compliant
with the SCART standard?
Ideas? Suggestions? Solutions?! :-)
