This weird.

I got a dreamcast ages ago with scart cable and it worked fine.
Recently, i turned the machine on and the picture was sort of out of focus. Kinda like a TV channel not tuned in correctly (weird for a scart cable). Its not the TV port because the video player works fine through it.

Anyway, I assumed it was the cable and bought a new one.
Same sodding problem with the new cable.

Then I bought the cable with RF converter type thing (ie it plugs into an aeriel port). It worked fine.

So now I am really confused. Anyone else had the same problem or got any ideas? Appreciate it if you do.

Cheers

That's a curious problem you have there.... and to be perfectly honest, I haven't got a clue what's causing it (?).
I've never used a scart lead with my DC.-

Really is weird.

May email sega but I doubt they'll do anything about a post production machine.

Nevermind. The Coaxial cable will do, just doesn't look as good!

Cheers for the reply anyway!

The scart socket is the same as the RF one. The only difference is the cable which plugs into the TV
