SCART + 12V = Oh dear!

mingle · 15 December 2008, 07:31

Hi all,

I've been trying to get my LCD TV (which supports RGB SCART input) going with my A1200...

There are a few (at least 4!) different wiring diagrams for making use SCART cables for use with the Amiga.

I'm pretty sure that I need the one that has the +12V and +5V connected from the Amiga RGB port to pins 8 & 16 respectively, but I also need some resisitors adding, but I'm not sure what values...

Stupidly (partly confused by the number of wiring diagrams I was looking at) I connected the +12V to pin 16 (instead of pin 8) of the SCART input and, although I got a picture for a few seconds, I also got a horrible burning smell from the telly!

I'm hoping I haven't killed it completely - it still apears to work...

But I'd like a bit of advice on what value resistors I need to add to the +5V and +12V lines from the Amiga to the SCART plug...

Cheers,

Mike.

basicly you should connect RGB, CSYNC to their respective pins and GND. Don't mess with 12v.

With any luck, PowerPie5000 will soon be posting details of an RGB to SCART cable which will sort this problem out once and for all.

@prowler,

Thanks for the info...!

@coze,

Unfortunately some TVs/monitors require additional lines to set them to select RGB SCART input and I'm pretty sure mine's one of them - I've tried it with a 'standard' SCART cable with no luck.

Cheers,

Mike.
