The outward pins are the same but since the Sam does not accept incoming video it has used the pins for various other purposes - so it's not a good idea to plug a fully wired SCART lead into it. If you do then one thing that will happen is you will send 5 volts through the video out of the other device. I guess it ought to be possible to buy a fully wired SCART lead and then snip all the connections which don't have anything to do with video. There is a wiring diagram in the Sam manual which seems fairly standard except that it connects CSYNC to both CSYNC input and composite video input - that seems unnecessary since the sam has a composite video output. Or get a lead which converts SCART into three phono plugs (stereo audio and composite video) since that's pretty much guaranteed to work as long as you have phono sockets on your tv/video (these are often provided for camcorder input). imc
