Hi the Pi gives composite and it's colour not B/W it also does both NTSC and PAL the switch for which is in that config file in /boot (name forgot....doh)
Mine worked immediately on my TV and a mates monitor made from a broken portable DVD in a laser cut case BTW the Composite/Scart adaptor is merely a passive device connecting the phono output to the particular pins on the SCART no real magic involved Your TV may have some configuration problem can you plug an old vcr or DV into the composite port ?

Connecting directly to the input on my TV does not work. Yet, I have found a 'work around' by connecting a Scart to Composite convertor plug. The latter I found was available for 1ukp at a local PoundLand. The display is then in B&W. Sound is available, too, with a separate mini-jack plug to RCA phone plug at the Scart adaptor. Now I can what Pi is doing ... :-) > >Yes it has a composite output as well > >--- On Fri, 12/10/12, Bryan Horstmann <[email protected]> wrote: > >From: Bryan Horstmann <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [Ql-Users] My slice of Pi >To: [email protected] >Date: Friday, 12 October, 2012, 15:09 > >On 12/10/2012 02:38, [email protected] wrote: >> Hi, >> >> Finally received "my slice of Pi" - the Raspberry Pi, from RS - today >>12th October 2012. >> >> I had to re-order, earlier in the Year, when my email address used >>was no longer working >> >> I also ordered a Type B Case, in white, and a 4GB SD Card with OS >>installed.
