... my TV. I'm not sure what all this RGB and AV business is about. Can someone please explain? I hope the lead fits my TV. On the back of my TV there is a 21 pin slot and the usual round aerial socket.
No, the only way to input SCART is through the 21 pin socket. The coloured leads are a composite connection.
Sorry Albert. You already answered my below thread. Thanks for explaining it to me :)
Ahah! So my TV has basically two entries for SCART? The 21pin way and the coloured video-and-audio IN.

No, this is also an AV input (like the scart socket). It simply splits the channels whereas a scart socket combines both audio and video. If you have a Gamecube, you'll of noticed the lead it comes with has three seperate plugs (yellow, white and red, but you don't use the red one if your tv has mono sound) as well as a scart socket adapter, so you can shove 'em all together.

Finaly I understand. Thanks alot. There's one other thing I noticed on my TV apart from the 21pin slot and the aerial socket. There is a video and audio 'IN' on the front of the TV. Does that mean it's RGB compatable?
Hope that helps

An RGB cable stands for Red, Green and Blue, its a digital scart lead, it has superior quality for picture and sound.
An AV scart lead is an anolog lead, it comes standard with the gamecube, its not quite as good quality as the RGB but its still good.
If your tv is made before 1991 it should have a scart plug.
P.S. it has nothing to do with the normal arial port.

In short. Aye.
