SCART is a standard RGB cable that Europeans use with their
TV's. There is no equivalent in North America. A few large
domestic TV's here do have RGB inputs, but you will need a
rather expensive ($50-$100) custom Playstation RGB cable to 
use these TV's in RGB mode. Amiga monitors can also be used
as RGB monitors as they support the standard TV scan rates.

A Playstation S-video cable ($25) provides almost as good a picture
and works with a much wider variety of TV's. You should probably
avoid just using the composite cable provided with Net Yaroze as
the composite signal is poorly equiped to carry digitally generated
video.
