Hi,
I'm thinking of getting the DAV-S550 and have a TV that will accept SCART (RGB) and S-Video (but connector on the front of the set).
I've read a review saying the S550 picture is best using the component outputs...it also said that you can get a component to SCART cable if your display doesn't have the correct connectors and sort of implied that this would give you better quality than S-Video input.
Can any one advise me on this as I don't have component on the TV and don't want an S-video cable from the DVD sticking out of the front of the TV set! I'd also like the best quality picture I can get!!
Dunc,
I'm afraid the DAVs isn't that good over here in Europe (Tort, how about updating your profile with a location?) as the S550 doesn't have a Scart output, but rather component, which is probably why Tort would like the conversion cable (which I don't think is possible). Really a shame how Sony crippled the DAV systems with no Scart...
What? no SCART (Read Euro Connector) are Sony mad?? Thats a real shame, although I think it is great to have component most people are tied to RGB Scart.
I am not sure in the logic here on Sonys thinking, most monitors that use component are £1500GBP upwards (at least on UK spec kit), IMHO a lot of people with a 550 (£250GBP) wouldn't be prepared or in a position to buy a £1500 monitor. Is component in on european TV more common than year?
Sony are either mad, hoping to sell most of these babies outside of Europe or IMHO overly confident about the capability of the S-Video interface.
Component in is definately rare on European TV sets (given that a RGB Scart connection is just as good quality-wise, I don't think it's going to change either)
