The pin numbering on the plug is as follows:
{{{
__________________________________________
\                                         |
 \  20  18  16  14  12  10  8   6   4   2 |  (case=21) 
  |   19  17  15  13  11   9   7   5   3  |
  |_______________________________________|
}}}
Note: This is as viewed from WIRING side.

Personally, I think SCART connectors are dreadful things. I mean, who really wants a 20 pin monster when only about 3 or 4 are ever used in any application. But it seems they are being forced upon us!

I think most VCRs just use the composite video (in+out) and the two sound channels (in+out stereo). By the way, quite a common fault with VCRs is that the scart socket gets disconnected from the PCB inside the machine. I have fixed 2 VCRs with this problem. It is not surprising really, because the leverage on the huge plug must be quite large if you pull it out carelessly etc.

The quicker SCART dies, the better, IMHO. (From horus@pmn.it)
