Typical Home Theatre System (S-Video based) This configuration relies on a multi-channel A/V amplifier as the hub of the system and as such, this will normally require discrete cable connections. In this instance, the television is used purely as a monitor (no sound reproduction via television). Note: video and satellite composite video only.

Advanced Home Theatre This configuration is intended to deliver the very best picture quality by using dedicated RGB cables to convey component video directly to the T.V. monitor, whilst still retaining the control features of Scart. Audio is routed via the A/V amplifier. Example shown requires T.V. to be equipped with 3 Scart sockets, 2 of which, need to be wired for RGB for best results.
