True, the SAM SCART cable is a special one. Either you make one yourself or you order from Colin (http://www.samcoupe.com/). I once managed to reverse an original SAM cable and did not pay attention to the labels “TV” and “SAM”. This also lead to a black screen.

The wiring is in the manual. Alternative is the Composite Video and Audio signal from the Power socket.

Voltage is not a concern, step up converters are cheap on Amazon. But I would like to be able to display the image from the Sam on my TV and unfortunately SCART sockets were never put on American TVs. What would be the best option for converting the SCART to an HDMI connector? Would something like this be OK? https://www.amazon.com/CiBest-Converter-Adapter-Support-Set-top/dp/B06Y43RVLH/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1514302351&sr=8-3&keywords=scart+to+hdmi+converter Any help/advice gratefully accepted.
