The red/yellow/white lead does nothing.


Hopefully this has been sorted out with the SCART lead.

For completeness the red/yellow/white lead is to take composite
video, left sound and right sound from the player to something which
can accept these. The television does have these connections, they
are built into the SCART specification and you can get leads with a
SCART connector on one end and red, yellow and white phono plugs on
the end to take these signals. There is no reason to do this unless
pushed, SCART has a better method of sending video built into it too
(though this is not always used by some bits of equipment).


Aha! This is good. The red & white sockets on the TV are currently
connected to the surround sound thingy which I love & SWMBO hates. I forsaw
that as being a problem.
