TV 6.1) SCART / EURO-AV (From Gerald Evans)
The pins have the following functions:
| PIN | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Audio out B |
| 2 | Audio in B |
| 3 | Audio out A |
| 4 | Audio ground |
| 5 | Blue video ground |
| 6 | Audio in A |
| 7 | Blue video |
| 8 | Function switching |
| 9 | Green video ground |
| 10 | Comms data line 2 |
| 11 | Green video |
| 12 | Comms data line 1 |
| 13 | Red video ground |
| 14 | Comms data ground |
| 15 | Red video |
| 16 | Blanking |
| 17 | Video ground |
| 18 | Blanking ground |
| 19 | Composite video out OR Synchronization out |
| 20 | Composite video in OR Synchronization in |
| 21 | Common ground |
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)
