Help - Forgotten how to cable up my setup

[Fas1975]

Just moved house and had to break down my (old) AV setup which was installed by the dealer about 8 years ago.

I've bought a new TV for the main living room and relegated the old setup to my study. But for the life of me, I can't figure out how to cable everything up.

I have a Sony VA 333ES amp, driving a Panasonic TH 37 PW5 plasma monitor. All I want to do is connect my sky box, all I'm getting is a grainy black and white picture.

I have all the cables, just no idea

Back of monitor has these inputs:



Amp has these




My Sky box is connected via Scart to an RGB to S-Video converter.
From the Sky box to RGB in is basic scart. From RGB out, I've got 3 cables. One is going to Video 2, S2 Video IN The one in the top right of the video 2 input area and two audio cables going into the input side of the audio section of that same area (hopefully that makes sense!)

All I want to do is connect my (basic) sky box

Many thanks!


I took some pictures and made some notes during the tear down, but if I'm honest, the move was fraught, and nothing makes sense.

use s2 video out under monitor section going to your monitor

Your sky box connection is being compromised by converting down to an s-video signal.

Does the sky box have a component video/hdmi output?

@ phucks. Played around with wiring the past few days and as you said, S2 video out, spot on thanks chap.

Liquidken. I have the most basic sky box. Only scart output. I've had the box for about 5 years, and only just upgraded to the HD in the main room and migrated the old setup to my study.

As it's basic scart, that's why I have the RGB to S-Video converter, to get it talking to the amp properly
