Which gives me composite video, right? I have that working and it's ok but
DVD colours are noticeably desaturated. S-Video allegedly gives a superior
picture to composite video. But I got a bit suspicious when I looked thru
the various cables on offer at the online Apple Store. They do offer an
S-Video to Scart cable but not an S-Video to S-Video cable. Scart is
useless to me since I have to move half a ton of equipment to get to the
TV's scart sockets. But my Panasonic and many other modern TVs have an
S-Video input on the front panel so it's a mystery why Apple don't sell
one, or even supply one with every TiBook.
