vl nick Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 sorry to Hijack the topic... but my friend rang me with a similar problem. He is trying to play his VHS into his Projector. The VHS is a scart output..... The Projector is S-Video input. (so he has a scart to s-video adapter which gives him an s-video and audio input to his projector) The video signal gets to the projector and it projects a black and white output. He has tried the menu on the projector and vhs and cannot make into colour. Obviously there is a lead issue some where... any one had similar problems or can recommend anything to solve this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Lee Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Are you sure his VHS can output S vid? - Try connecting via composite signal, it will probably by RCA to RCA which, looking at my adaptor in front of me should also be on the adaptor To be honest S vid probably won't help with image quality (unless it is an S VHS machine) I would presume the VHS would have a menu setting for output as either composite or SVHS. If it hasn't then I would presume composite video only. HTH edit - I'm presuming the projector has composite input as well. What model VHS and projector? If not you may be able to get a device to go composite to s video - thinking of a scan convertor or somthing of that ilk - maplins may do it, but I bet it would cost to much to make it worthwhile. edit 2 http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Module...ite&doy=9m7 only £6.00 - if that is what is needed - bargain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hambone Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 The recorded signal from the scanconverter's S-Video output to my home DVD HD recorder is far superior to the composite input recording on the new DVD HD recorder that doesn't have the S-VIdeo input. It's the "mosquito netting" effect that I don't like. For less than half as much cash, I can pick up a DVD recorder without a hard drive that records straight to DVD+R/RW. This led me to wonder why I even need a hard drive. I'm simply recording my VJ output that is only get copied to a DVD anyway. Anyone using a DVD-only recorder?
