I wonder if anyone can help me.
I just bought a 37" Toshiba LCD TV with 2x SCARTs, 3x HDMIs and 1x component
input.
I don't have any HDMI devices at the moment, so in the meantime I want to
connect my DVD player to the TV. If I connect it using a SCART socket,
everything's fine. Likewise my digibox. But I want to connect the DVD using
component (better picture?) Unfortunately, when I do this -- the TV doesn't
seem to pick the signal up. I just get a blue screen.
My jacks are coloured Yellow, Red and White -- while the input sockets on
the back of the TV are Red, Green, Blue. But I've connected them the exactly
same way I used to on my CRT Toshiba (yellow/white/red, vertically), and
that worked fine before.
Any ideas what might be the problem, or good things to check?

Firstly the component method probably won't make a noticeable difference.
(As long as RGB is being fed via the SCART)
If the jacks on the player and Yellow, Red and White it sounds like
composite (not component) video and left/right audio... You will want to
avoid composite video at all costs!
What's the DVD player?

No, SCART1 is RGB (but I use it for my digibox). SCART2 is just a standard
one, which I'm having to plug my DVD player into..

Ah, okay. So composite leads (Y/R/W) just wouldn't produce any picture when
connected to component inputs? So I need component leads? That would explain
it!
> What's the DVD player?
Toshiba SD210EB player. The TV's a Toshiba 37XV505DB.
Thanks for replying, btw! Really appreciate any help. It does seem like I'm
just confused about composite and component leads... doesn't it?

Right, gotcha.

Composite and component are quite different things! Indeed they can both be
transmitted using the same type of leads (Phono's)

The SD210 doesn't output 'component' - therefore you won't be able to
connect it to the component in on the TV. The DVD has a S-Video output so
this would be the next best option for quality. (Presuming the TV can accept
S-Video)
Just to confuse matters, SCART can carry RGB, S-Video and composite signals.
A RGB-SCART switch box could be another option?

Right, I see. I'll have to get some component phonos then.

Well, my SD210EB doees! I'm looking at the owner's manual now. Under
"connecting to a TV using the component video jacks". Y video out, PB Video
out and PR video out. They're there on the back of my player, too.

Yes, a switch box might be in order.
Thanks for your help.

Well if it definitely does then 3 phono's to 3 phono's should work...
You may have to enable the output in the menus of the player. You only need
to connect the Y lead only to get a black and white picture so you can quite
quickly attach 1 lead to check the connections.

Ah, right I see. Is it female-phono to male-phono, usually?

Component video is 3x male phono - male phono.
Something like this:

I have an SD210 connected via component, and as Justin says you will
have to change the output type in the setup menus on the player.

I'm not 100% familiar with Sky Digibox but if ut has two scarts
(one TV and one VCR)
you may be able to plug the DVD into the VCR socket of the digibox.
Then when you switch on the DVD the Digibox might pass it through. Quite
a few Scart devices can work this way.
If it works it means both digibox and DVD are connected to the RGB scart
socket.

As mention by others , if the sockets are Red,white,yellow this is two
audio + 1 composite(=rubbish) signal.
Component is video only - same shape sockets but usually coloured
Red,Green, Blue and need a good quality cable.
