TV has 2 scarts, advice needed on colour difference between both.
M tv has 2 scarts. I had video into No1 & dvd into No2. After reading someone else saying only 1 (probably No1) was RGB, I swapped them round. Noticed an improvement in Toy Story, it was a bit pixally round some edges in No2. Only thing is the colour has gone a little washed out. Swap it back and the colour is sharp again, but picture is not the best. Any suggestions

Yes you are right DVD needs to go into the scart with RGB in, Scart 1
VCR into scart 2 with composite.
Have set the DVD player menu to output RGB?

Reading between the lines (because you don`t say what TV you have) it sounds like you`ve got your colour set garishly high and the RGB image is using the default (more natural) setting. This could give you the impression that the composite feed gives more colourful results, but once you get used to RGB`s more accurate reproduction, you`ll turn the colour down for everything else aswell. To prove/disprove this theory, you should try turning the colour down in RGB mode, as in many cases even setting it to zero will have absolutely no effect (because the colours are delivered in their intended shades automatically). I know from personal experience that this is definitely the case with Philips/Panasonic sets, but I found that turning up the contrast (to unusually high levels) adds the vibrancy that you think is lost in the colour.
