Dreamcast SCART works on one TV but not another -Help please

Post by Leprekaun »

Hi there. I just bought a Dreamcast SCART cable but something thats very annoying is that on the TV in my room, I get sound fine but the picture is really dim, can barely seen anything. Just to test things out, I tried plugging in my PS2 instead and that worked perfectly fine so I thought it might be the cable but I thought I'd test out the Dreamcast with the SCART cable on the TV in my living room and it worked perfectly fine there (picture and sound were perfect) so I'm very confused now so can anyone help me out here? Thanks.

Does the TV in your room have 2 scart sockets? If so try the other one. DC scart cables commonly have RGB and composite. Maybe your TV has a bad RGB decoder. Normally if your TV has 2 scart sockets only one is for RGB.
Dreamcast: Blue Swirl, 60hz, White LED, Removable battery holder, Internal SD card reader, BBA, DreamPi, RGB Scart

This is pretty weird.
I have two Samsung TVs, one manufactured back in the 80s (which I prefer to use with my Dreamcast), and an 1080p HD LCD Samsung TV manufactured in 2010.

My Dreamcast is detected on both, using the SCART cables.
Connection! Hooray!!!
