Hello again
Been away for a while since I was last hooked and got my system over a year ago, and I'm back for some more advice! I now I want to connect a Philips SL400i to my PW6 42" and looking for the best way to do it.
The US version of the SL400i is component YUV prog scan, but the euro version available to us laggers is the scart RGB version. Now, the boards I put into my PW6 are two component boards and an additional VGA. Sky+ is in one of the VGA ports via a syncblaster cable, dvd player (757ai) in one component and PS2 in the other component. The remaining VGA is redundant since my testing with a pc (music server) and the PW6 wasn't as good as I hoped (lack of resolution, PITA to use etc).
I have a few options:
1. get another syncblaster cable and connect the sl400i from scart to vga.
2. get a JS Tech RGB to component converter and use it for sky+, while the existing syncblaster can be used for the sl400i to vga. Means the component sky and ps2 will have to be switched through the av amp (ax5i).
3. get a JS Tech RGB to VGA converter V2 for either sky or sl400i, or both if it's a marked improvement over the syncblaster cable.
Picture quality from sky is paramount here, but I've been more than happy with the quality using the syncblaster - but any improvement gain would be gladly welcome. The readibility and picture stability with the sl400i is also important.
What would you guys think is the better option? Any difference to be had between the syncblaster vga, js RGB-YUV and js RGB-VGA when used with sky+ and a pw6?
Is there anything I've missed?
Thanks,
Alan
