Connecting a DVD player to a combi TV

I've tried to connect a DVD player (basic Toshiba at £30 -model SD -280EKB) to our DAEWOO combi (model GB20H4T1 -20') with a scart but there is no picture (although you can hear the sound).

Where have I gone wrong?

Re: Connecting a DVD player to a combi TV

Make sure your SCART lead is one that has all the pins connected at both ends.

Re: Connecting a DVD player to a combi TV

Some scart cables can also be directional, so need connecting up the right way round.

These are usually the more expensive types though - should say on the cable/plugs if this is the case.

Re: Connecting a DVD player to a combi TV

Thanks to both of you. I don't think it is the scart's fault because I have tried the same DVD player with 2 other TVs we've got, one a very basic 15' Mikomi, and it plays fine. There is obviously a problem with this Daewoo, could it be the fact it is a combi?
