SCART stands for "Syndicat des Constructeurs d'Appareils Radiorécepteurs et Téléviseurs"... a bunch of European electronics manufacturers, who clubbed together to invent a new standard for linking together assorted bits and pieces of audio visual equipment. Traditionally, audio visual gear (like your dreamcast) has connected to display devices (like your TV) via an RF cable. RF cables carry pictures and sound just like a regular TV aerial does, and as a consequence of this, virtually every TV set sold in the UK is capable of having an RF lead plugged in the back of it. Thus, to ensure that most UK dreamcast consumers can plug their dreamcasts into ...  Read the complete review

Why on earth do console manufacturers keep supplying their lovely new hardware with those damned RF units? You know what I’m talking about. That coaxial lead with the ‘oh so clever’ switching box which allows you to connect your existing aerial without having to unplug the console from your TV. Twenty years ago a coax was just fine, but nowadays we have Dolby Surround sound systems, high resolution flat-screen TV’s. Even when the Playstation was released five years ago many people were still using the coax connection on their TV's but now? It's the year 2001 baby! WHY DO YOU KEEP GIVING ...  Read the complete review

When the Saturn was released it was equipped with the SCART lead, which was a mistake (or was it?) by Sega because a lot of people had to purchase the RF Unit, as most Television's in the mid '90s didn't have SCART output on them. All modern televisions do have SCART connections, but Sega this time decided to put an RF unit in with the Dreamcast so that everyone could play there little white boxes without paying out any more money - all TV's support the RF unit as long as there's an Arial port. I didn't initially notice that the picture quality was below par with the Dreamcast when I first got it - the graphics were so incredible ...  Read the complete review

Now I am not into my technology but even I know when I am onto a good thing with Scart Cables. These products connect all of your electronic equipment together such as TVs will have a rectangle hole in the back of the system and you can connect your console or games systems with it. Now I never knew until I was speaking to my girlfriends dad at a house party once that there was any difference in products. Some of them can range from £45 to £10 He recommended this one I brought it on line and found that there was a difference in the picture that I received. It was much clearer and crisper than before. I did also notice a slight difference in the ...  Read the complete review

Scart leads are fast becoming a new standard. Modern appliances nowadays, TV, Video, DVD and Consoles are coming equipped with Scart sockets as well as the more traditional outputs. For a long time whilst I had my Playstation Iwas ignorant of the Scart leads available, but when I got a shiny new TV I was advised to upgrade. The result made me feel like I had a new console. The picture was clearer and faster, it made the games better, and thats a hard thing to do. Suddenly I was Scart mad. DVD, Video and my Dreamcast were all SCARTed and I came to a few conclusions. Scart looks better, it allows for a clearer picture and a better feel to a ...  Read the complete review
