Product Information

Full details

This Kenable Scart to RCA AV Cable is designed for users needing to connect older SCART devices to modern displays with RCA (phono) inputs. Its primary benefit is providing a straightforward way to adapt legacy audio-visual equipment. A potential caveat is that it only supports analog signals, not digital ones. This 1.5-meter cable features a red color and is bidirectional, allowing connection from SCART to RCA or RCA to SCART.

FAQs

Is this cable suitable for HD signals?

No, this cable is designed for analog audio and composite video signals only and does not support high-definition (HD) or digital signals.

Can I use this cable to connect a Blu-ray player to an old TV?

It depends on the outputs of the Blu-ray player and inputs of the TV. If the Blu-ray player has a SCART output and the TV has RCA inputs, it might work for standard definition content. However, most modern Blu-ray players output digital signals, and this cable only handles analog.

What does 'bidirectional' mean for this cable?

Bidirectional means the cable can be used to connect a SCART source to RCA inputs, OR an RCA source to SCART inputs. You do not need to flip the cable around; its internal wiring supports both connection directions.

What is the maximum video resolution supported?

This cable supports standard definition analog composite video signals. It is not designed for or capable of transmitting high definition or digital resolutions.

How do I know if my device has a SCART connection?

A SCART connection is a large, rectangular 21-pin connector commonly found on older European televisions, VCRs, and some DVD players. RCA connections are typically three circular plugs (Yellow for video, Red and White for audio).

Can this cable carry digital audio?

No, this cable is for analog audio signals only. It cannot transmit digital audio formats.

Troubleshooting

No picture or sound

Verify that the cable is securely connected at both ends. Ensure the correct input source is selected on your display device. Check that the devices themselves are functioning correctly and that the cable is used in the appropriate direction for your setup (SCART-to-RCA or RCA-to-SCART). Test with different source or display devices if possible.

Flickering picture or distorted sound

This may indicate a poor connection or interference. Ensure the SCART plug is fully inserted and the RCA plugs are seated correctly. Try repositioning the cable away from other power cables or electronic devices that might cause interference. Inspect the cable for any visible damage.

Only one channel of audio is working

Confirm that the White (Left) and Red (Right) RCA plugs are connected to the correct corresponding audio input jacks on the receiving device. If using the cable for audio output from a device, ensure the source device is set to output stereo audio.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile bidirectional functionality
  • Simplifies connection between SCART and RCA devices
  • Convenient 1.5-meter cable length
  • Clear color-coding for easy setup
  • Cost-effective solution for extending use of older equipment

Cons

  • Limited to analog audio and composite video signals only
  • Does not support high-definition or digital signals
  • SCART connectors can be bulky and may obstruct adjacent ports
  • Requires devices on both ends to support the respective SCART and RCA standards

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify the SCART port on one device and the Red, White, and Yellow RCA (phono) ports on the other.
  2. Insert the SCART plug firmly into the SCART socket.
  3. Connect the Red, White, and Yellow RCA plugs into the corresponding color-coded sockets on the other device. Typically, Red is for the right audio channel, White is for the left audio channel, and Yellow is for composite video.
  4. Ensure both devices are powered off before connecting or disconnecting cables.
  5. Power on your devices and select the correct input source on your display.

Compatibility:

This cable is compatible with any devices that feature standard SCART and RCA (composite video and stereo audio) connections. It is suitable for analog video and audio signals only. It will not work with digital signals (like HDMI or DVI) or component/S-Video signals.

Care:

  • Store the cable in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable, which can damage the internal wiring.
  • Gently clean the connectors with a dry, soft cloth if they appear dirty or corroded. Do not use liquids.
  • Ensure plugs are fully seated in ports but do not force them.
