 Only Black and white from SVHS I'm trying to record from my VHS video recorder to my Panasonic digital camera. I am using a scart adapter and a SVHS lead but can only obtain black and white. The scart adapter has been replaced but will only record in B&W. I know that the SVHS lead is OK. Will record in colour with the composite lead. Any ideas would be appreciated. Phil   |

Will record in colour with the composite lead. If this is a 'plain' VHS recorder, and not a SVHS recorder then that would explain the problem. The SCART wiring is different between these two types, and getting only B&W is the normal result. If this is the case then you will need to use the composite video lead. Regards, Harry. |

Will record in colour with the composite lead. The SCART to SVHS (s-video) lead would be keeping the luminence (B&W) part of the signal separate from the chominance (colour) part. SCART just happens to use the same pin for the luminence as it does for a composite (1 wire) signal. So the composite signal being put out by you VHS recorder is just feeding the luminense part of the input on your camera. Just use the composite lead - the quality isnt going to improve by feeding it in through the s-video port as the limiting factor is the VHS source Loz |

The scart adapter has been replaced but will only record in B&W. I know that the SVHS lead is OK. Will record in colour with the composite lead. The Scart standard includes a S-video connection. But on a normal VHS vcr this is rarely implemented. Use the composite lead. |
