Picked up a DVD player..........................

Possibly - I didn't investigate that. I know how to get into the Tosh service menus but they're not overly user-friendly and I didn't want to mess with anything that could really cock things up. Anyway, I'm using SCART now so it's not an issue any more

Still is better to have the option and the convenience... :MILD:

 

I go out for the day and come home to find all these people in my front room !

Many thanks for the posts [and kind words from Hexspurt] I'll have to investigate further and see which give me the best pic and sound.

 

OK, really LMAO now

I had considered mentioning the Arcam dv88 and dv27 models give component out via SCART as the exception that proved the rule but considered it a little pedantic in what was essentially an attempt to rectify some basic misconceptions about the SCART. I should have known better though, shouldn't I

Anyway, I did say Component wasn't a ratified standard for SCART, not that a SCART couldn't carry Component. There's an important difference.

 

My elderly Philips 6322 widescreen TV auto-switches to widescreen via it's s-video SCART.

The DVD player's s-video output goes to the TV's SCART via an s-video-SCART cable so I can't see that the TV gets anything through pin 19 but somehow (don't know how) it spots an anamorphic widescreen signal and over it switches.
