- This setting allows you to choose 

the video signal type which is sent through the 

Scart sockets on the rear of the set top box. 

Choosing RGB will provide the best picture quality 

for the majority of TVs. This breaks down the 

signal into Red, Green and Blue signals. If your TV 

cannot use RGB, you should choose CVBS. This 

will produce a reduced picture quality.
