I have recently bought region X and a full RGB scart for my european PS2.....works a treat only the image is in Black and White when playing Region 1 DVD's!
According to the region X boffs this is because my TV is not NTSC compatible.....any of you good peeps out there no if there's a way round this apart from buying another TV?

Just another quickie question.
Where can I buy a full RGB scart lead from, dixons etc?
And should I stick with a genuine Sony one to be sure?

He doesn't have an RGB Scart cable, you ninty, plum.
nope, youll have to buy another tv... only joking, it's probably either a flaw in the device/cable somewhere or something wrong with the dvd drive, as iv'e heard that the ps2 dvd drive is crap apparently, oh well i'm not really bothered cos i hate the ps2 anyway... why am i in this forum? oh well... (go's back to the Nintendo forum)

This means that it is not an RGB Scart cable, and this is why you cannot play NTSC DVDs, in colour. The picture should be normal just in black and white. If the TV didn't support NTSC the picture would scroll down the screen really fast.

Does your cable make DVDs play in Green when you do not use your Region X???

If it doesn't display region 2 DVDs in colour without the DVD Region X in the system then it is not an RGB Scart cable. This is definately why your NTSC plays in black and white.
