I hear the sound but the picture is not syncing properly. May I ask if you also built your cable like that?:<br />I simply connected R G and B, audio and ground directly to the Scart connector without any capacitors or resistors. I put the +12V from the Orel output to pin 8 of SCART to switch the TV into RGB mode and I connected SYNC from the Orel directly to Pin 16 (Blanking) of the Scart connector.<br />Did you do it the same way, or did you do something differently?<br />Thanks, Greetings roland. vectrexroli at gmail dot com.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09173797102061135935noreply@blogger.com
