I know that, Brian, but there is nothing on the menu or in the manual called RGB. What does it mean?
All I know is that Sky gave me a lovely picture via Scart on my good old crt tv, whereas on this flat thing it is fuzzy and downright awful, in fact I think it is marginally better when I use the analogue setting and tune in Sky to an old tv channel.
The flat screens really don't seem all they are cracked up to be. When I bought it, I specifically asked if I could get round its lousy sound by connecting my old amp to some phono sockets. It has 7 phono sockets, none of which are 'audio out,' and none of which powers my amp. All I can do is use the headphone jack, sound turned down on 'headphone' and connect it to phono on the amp, but the sound is fuzzy and over basey, lacking treble. There is a single output phono socket on the tv marked 'coaxial digital audio output,' but that does not look right either as I cannot see how a single phono socket can be connected to the amp and provide stereo.
Many thanks.

Dear Dale,
thank you so much for that. As I had only just got the lcd, I took it back to Bennetts yesterday.
If you don't mind my asking, please would you explain this rgb? This is not a setting on the tv, but on the Sky box? How do I find it on the Sky box?
Does your tv have phono sockets so you can connect a good old fashioned amp with speakers in wooden cabinets?
Those flat screens look marvellous in the shop, but when you get them home they are a bitter disappointment, awful sound and you have to sit in only one chair in the room to see the picture properly, and if you cannot get the inbuilt freeview tuner to pick something up, you have had it.
I wonder if freesat connected to my tv would have been any better than Sky.
Many thanks.

Thanks Mike, this is getting quite complex. If I can't find what I want in the manual, will get back to you.

Thanks Dale, picture size makes all the difference, mine was 32 ins.
There is no RGB on my picture settings, only scart on/off.
Do you know what 'second location picture format' is meant to do?
Best wishes.

Found it! Thanks Dale. It does not make any difference either way now that I am back on the crt. I must set to rgb when I have to get a flat screen I suppose. Incidentally, I thought we used PAL, or does that only apply to analogue? Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks Dale. My crt actually gives a clearer picture using the aerial connections and putting the tv on a vacant channel. I think that is because however you change the picture settings on the tv and Sky, the picture is a bit smaller than via scart, don't know why. Do you have any comments on that? Best wishes.
crt is widescreen, via aerial sockets, picture still fills screen

Dear Brian,
Is Sudbury broadcasting any hd channel? Can't see it in the list at the top of this page, nor does anything come up when I tune in my box, even when I receive some channels from every mux.
Kind regards,
Nick

Dear KMJ,
You have thrown a spanner in the works. So from next month we will not have 75kw as promised at the top of this page, and we may still struggle to receive?

Sorry Brian, what is that setting, what does it mean and where do I find it? Many thanks.
