cant get a signal using s video to connect my lcd and dvd player...

[Tiger]

got one thru today just to see the improvement from scart, but when both are connected i only get 'no signal' on my screen?

the tv recognises it as its not dimmed out along with HDMI etc in the menu.

anyone any ideas, im sure its a simple thing ive done wrong...


thanks

S-video wont offer you any benefit over scart (rgb)

jings! i got told it did, i was just farting about anyway, im gonna get one of these samsung upscaling dvd players this week, should be a decent improvement with that connected via HDMI eh?...

s-video is better than scart for my lcd i have found anyway. but component or hdmi are better.

how are you connecting the s-video? do you have your scart in as well?

hdmi will improve the quality a lot

ive just got the cable into the s video on my dvd player and into the tv then using a phono to connect to my hifi for audio...

the scart wasnt in at the same time..

there might be a setting in the dvd player that you need to change to output in s-video , i know on my old one you needed to do that for component.
