A1200 plus SCART adapter from amigakit, barely visible display

[mikeymike]

I was using an RF cable to connect up to my TV, but this Amiga always has had an issue of flipping from colour to b/w, losing a little focus in the process, then fading the colour and focus back in again, over about a 30 second period.

It is also fine if I connect it up to a monitor via the video/RGB socket with an adapter I bought ages ago, however I just bought an RGB -> SCART adapter from amigakit.co.uk, and I can barely see anything on the screen at all.  When I switch on the Amiga, the screen changes to grey, I hear the Amiga booting up (HD), then when it is done, I can just make out the bar at the top of the Workbench screen saying 'Commodore Amiga..' etc.

I've tried booting off a floppy, same thing.

Help!

Yep, I just dug up a cable, and that works as you described.  I can see a bit of ghosting, but it works better than RF.

Surely if every TV implemented SCART differently, I wouldn't be able to hook up my N64 or my DVD player?

It's a JVC CRT TV btw.

I thought I would try here first

I'll try swapping SCART cables around on the TV.
