Does using an S-Video output via a SCART connector improve the output quality of a VCR?
The answer is probably no, unless the SCART socket on your VCR is labeled specifically as &quot;S-VIDEO&quot;. The fact that SCART connector has S-Video pins does not guarantee that your VCR provides S-Video signal to these pins. A low-end model will simply transmit a composite signal over the luminance S-Video pin and nothing over the chrominance pin.
Even my DVD player having both S-Video and SCART sockets doesn't provide S-Video signal over SCART. Only component RGB.
