Absolutely not. If the DVD player has a scart connector, then simply obtain another cable and you're back in business. If the player has phone connectors (RCA jacks) then you will need a phono to scart lead. Pick one up at the local electronics retailer or supermarket. For readers outside Europe, a scart connector is a 21 pin connector that carries analog video, audio and control lines between DVD players, set top boxes etc to a television. The cables are bi-directional, so the television can also output it's display picture and deliver it to a VCR for recording. The idea of the cable is great. The connector itself is one of the least robust connectors in the video industry. The large diameter cables are quite capable of ripping the connector out of its socket and loss of signal was far more common than it should have been. HDMI is now replacing the scart connector in most new equipment.

Do you get visual through a scart lead?

A scart connector is a European standard for video, audio and control communication between domestic television equipment. It is used only for standard definition video but supports composite, S-video and component signal formats. It also carries stereo audio and a limited number of control lines. The connection is often bi-directional to allow an output of a television to be routed to a video recorder as well as from the recorder to the television. The scart connection is being replaced by HDMI in new equipment so the days of the 21 pin scart connector are numbered. The signals are compatible with those on phono (RCA) connectors so equipment that does not have a scart connector can still be linked using a scart to phono break out lead.


Will i get better picture using HDMI cable to your DVD box than scart lead?

Yes, using an HDMI cable will generally provide a better picture quality compared to a SCART lead. HDMI supports higher resolutions and digital signals, resulting in clearer images and better color accuracy. SCART, being an older analog connection, is limited in terms of picture quality and can introduce signal degradation. Therefore, for the best visual experience, HDMI is the superior choice.

What is a scart lead for?

A SCART lead is a type of cable used primarily in Europe for connecting audio-visual equipment, such as televisions, DVD players, and VCRs. It allows for the transfer of both audio and video signals through a single connector, supporting composite, RGB, and S-Video formats. The SCART connector provides a simple and effective way to link devices and is known for its versatility in handling multiple signal types. However, it has become less common with the rise of HDMI and other modern connection standards.


Are RF leads inferior to Scart leads?

The short answer is yes, RF leads are inferior to scart leads. There are several reasons. A scart lead is used in Europe as a combined video, audio and control connection between video equipment. All signals are carried without any encoding onto to a radio frequency carrier so they avoid the slight losses that RF encoding and decoding generate. Scart leads are also capable of carrying S-video, component and RGB signals as well as composite. Composite uses a single wire or channel for all brightness and colour information and this limits the quality of the image. Using S-video, comoponent or RGB allows more information to be carried and the quality of the image is better as a result. RF leads will only carry a composite signal and will therefore never be capable of the better quality of the other signal formats. Scart leads can also carry switching information so a television will automatically select a Scart source when a valid signal is present on the lead.
