[vdr] Re: SCART connection to Grundig TV

["Edgar Raab" <edgar.raab@mycity.at>]

Hi,

according to the grundig manual pin 8 is defined as switching voltage
(Schaltspannung) and Pin 16 is defined as RGB switching voltage. Connecting
J2 +5V to pin 16 will switch the TV set into 16:9 mode but still no picture.

Shall I feed +12V and ground from one of the internal drive power connectors
into the Scart plug ?

anyone out there using a J2 - Scart connection ?
