I have a DVD player with a Scart socket on the rear. The operating
manual does not have much information about the Scart socket. Does
the Scart socket carry both or either composite or RGB video signals?
Can anyone tell me how do I identify the DVD player to output
composite video or RGB video?

Thanks,

Ray

If the SCART is RGB enabled, it will output RGB and composite at the
same time, as RGB uses the composite video to supply synchronising
signals. In the player's menu you might find an output mode selection,
which will usually allow you to select composite or RGB (and sometimes
also S-Video via SCART) - all this does is turn off the 'force RGB'
flag that tells the TV to take RGB rather than composite if available.
