Calibrating TV for sky digi

[Daddy k]

this may be a silly question but whats a good way to calibrate my tv for sky?

obviously if i use dve im calibrating my component input,
my sky is using rgb scart.
any ideas?

Your Harman Kardon DVD22 looks to have an RGB scart socket so why not use this to feed the DVE signal to the input on the plasma that your Sky+ is hooked up to. This should get your settings for brightness, contrast, colour saturation etc. close to optimum. I then tend to use actual real video material from the Sky+ to iron out the differences between the ideals of DVE and what the Sky box is actually delivering.

cheers matey,

i suppose i can then re run dve and do the adjustments on the dvd player to get the dvd player to match once iv then adjusted slightly for my sky.

Your plasma surely has separate setting memories for component and RGB scart inputs? Cailbrate the scart input with a temporary scart connection from the DVD player. Reconnect Sky to the scart input and tweak your settings. Connect the DVD player to the component input and calibrate again for this input.

doh yeah lol, well ill calibrate the 360 using dve (component) then tweak the settings using the dvd players settings with dve being run on that via component (for dvd watching) then connect dvd player up to my rgb scart and adjust tv for that!
