Configuration of Home-Cinema with the RGB to S-Video converter.
A basic configuration is to connect the digital set-top box (or DVD player) to the
converter’s SCART input, then the output directly to the TV, plasma or projector.
If the home-cinema system has a S-VHS or D-VHS recorder, then it would be
appropriate to connect the RGB to S-Video converter to the TV, plasma or projector
via the recorder.
A full configuration is where an AV amplifier acts as a video switch. Several devices
are connected to the amplifier, including laserdisc and DVD players. There may be
more than one digital set-top box to be connected. Output from the amplifier is
connected directly to the TV, plasma or projector. The S-VHS or D-VHS recorder is
connected to the amplifier also, although the RGB to S-Video converter could be
directly connected to the recorder and the recorder’s output connected to the amplifier.
Configuration of the Digital Set-top Box and DVD Player.
For Sky Digital, press the "Services" button on the remote control to bring up the
services menu. Go to option 4 - System Set-up. Then to 1 - Picture Settings. Ensure
that Video Output is RGB, not PAL. Do not press the "TV" button as this switches off
the RGB output. Pressing the “Sky” button restores RGB output.
For On Digital select menu, "4", then "2" and the TV Output option toggles between
RGB and Composite. The timer function with On Digital switches off the RGB
output, therefore if recording via the converter leave the unit on the desired channel.
Please refer to the DVD player’s user manual for options for RGB output and ensure
that it is active.
