I've been trying to write some debug text to the extreme left of the TV screen, only to find that the first 3-4 characters disappear. Further checking showed that there was no problem with the right of the screen, in fact there was a gap after the last character. At that point I noticed that the bootup screen is not central on my TV (a new Sony Trinitron KV-14M1). All this happens when the yaroze is connected with one of the special scart cables which use the AV multi out socket (which also allows me to use NTSC in colour). I've tried connecting the yaroze with the supplied audio/video out cable - the picture is slightly more centralised but there are still a couple of characters missing. (In addition, NTSC is black and white). I've tried an RF lead - the picture is central and all but about 1 pixel is displayed. (NTSC is B&W). I've tried connecting to a different TV - I get the same problems as above. I've had the TV back to the shop - it works fine for other SCART inputs and another TV like mine exhibits the same problems. The engineer says it may be possible to move the SCART picture to the right but it may affect the RF picture. I've tried the cables with my consumer PSX - suprisingly enough on RF the picture is central, on SCART it isn't and Crash B is offset to the left. Given that I would like to connect via SCART so I can use NTSC, does anybody have any suggestions before I go mad . . . Thanks, Mark.
