    Are you seriously claiming these VCRs output RGB?

    Every UK VCR I've seen, including hi-end S-VHS machines, only has RGB loop through. The content from the VHS tape is never output over RGB. Content input to RGB is not recorded to tape.

    Of course the SCART RGB signal uses composite video for the synchronisation - and that also includes a normal composite video picture, which is always accepted as input and sent as output. However, if you send syncs+black picture over composite, and real picture over RGB, and try to record it, you will get black picture on tape.


    If it was possible to record from component to VHS, it would be pointless - the quality would be identical to S-video input. The Luma of both formats is the same, and the chroma of S-video is in the PAL format required for recording to tape - the component luma would have to been encoded as PAL before recording to tape!

    Cheers,
    David.

    I'm afraid to say that although I have a component out device, this is by phonos only and the SCART does RGB, S-Video and Composite only - so sorry but I cannot answer your question.

    Philips made 2 S-VHS decks with RGB: VR813 with RGB recording and RGB output and VR969 with RGB recording as an option.
