A scart cable is a multi-pin video and audio connector common in Europe. The cable can carry audio, composite video, S-video, RGB and component video as well as a limited amount of control data. Used for connecting video recorders to televisions, it also supports return video )i.e from the television to the recorder).
The connector was only used in domestic video installations and never in a commercial environment. The connector was prone to reliability problems as the weight of the cable was sometimes able to dislodge the connector.
Scart connectors are now giving way to HDMI and becoming less common on new equipment.
To connect a video source to a TV using a SCART cable, you can simply plug one end of the SCART cable into the SCART socket on the video source, and the other end into the SCART socket on the TV. Make sure both devices are turned off before connecting the cable to avoid any damage.

A scart cable is a European interface. It uses rectangular connectors with 21 pins and has been the standard video interface between players and monitors for many years. It carries video (composite, YC, component or RGB), stereo audio and control lines and provides a two way interface. It is fully analogue and is being used less as HDMI becomes the standard interface.
