Hello folks. I have recently acquired a Philips K35 series set to pass on to a friend who was looking for a traditional looking (i.e. wooden) telly with the benefit of a SCART socket.

Whilst giving excellent off-air pictures, using a dvd player via the scart produces a yellow picture (i.e. no blue content) which is also very dim. Presumably this is down to incompatability rather than a problem with the set. I'm wondering if early scart sockets are wired differently to current ones, hence the problem. Can anyone confirm this?
