Chorus digital

I have set the output on my box to Svideo and connected using scartto ext2s on my 32" lcd..it seems to improve picture quality although my instinct was that It shouldn't ...can one of you techies explain???:o

I would bet that in this case, S-Video refers to RGB, as RGB signals can be carried over a Scart Lead as well as the normal RGB cables, S-Video connectors are not compatible with Scart, and always transmit an RGB signal AFAIK. So, setting it to S-Video means that your TV is getting a higher quality RGB signal instead of a lower quality Composite PAL signal.

A SCART cable is quite capable of carrying RGB, S-Video or plain old composite video.

To the OP .. what did you have your box set to before you set it to S-Video? If it was composite, then, yes, you should see an improvement. RGB would be an even bigger improvement.

Great lads ..thanks for that
I've have set the vcr standard from Pal to S-video it's in the set top box installation menu on the sagem chorus box.

In my opinion greatly improves picture on LCD especially for sports...wish I 'd bought a huge 100hz Sony CRT when they were available:(

Is there not an RGB setting besides those two? It should be better again.

Chorus Is only broadcasted in 50hz so reception on a 100hz tv is extremely poor and blocky so I wouldn't recommend anyone to rush out and buy a new tv

Newsflash: All broadcasted TV is 50Hz (or 60Hz in NTSC countries). There is no television standard, be it analogue or digital, that supports a 100Hz frame/field rate. Well not any standard I've heard of.
