RE: RGB Scart

How do I know if my TV takes a PAL 60 signal? I have an Orion 28" widescreen and the manual is useless. I have an RGB Scart socket - does this mean it takes PAL 60? If not, how can I find out whether it takes PAL 60 before I get a DVD player (I do not have one at the moment).

RGB Scart

After reading the DVD FAQ, it suggests that if using a player that outputs RGB (via Scart), then NTSC or PAL is irrelevant, i.e. if the player has an NTSC output for a Region 1 disc, but you have a PAL TV, this is not a problem as long as you are using an RGB connection. Is this correct?

Also, does the same apply to S-Video?

RE: RGB Scart

That`s what I thought, but look at what the FAQ says:

If you have a player that outputs NTSC only player you will need an external standards converter to allow colour or you might consider connection your player using RGB via a SCART connection if that type of connection is available on your player (see manual) as it bypasses the PAL/NTSC colour standards.

Can anybody verify that this is true? Does RGB really bypass PAL/NTSC?
