You have a SCART which does HD?


Like a lot of people on various AV forums it appears, you are confusing 'HD
quality' with 'HDMI' digital-only connectors.

A 'scart to HDMI converter' is merely an 'analogue to digital' or 'digital
to analogue' (?) converter/connector which (I believe) allows playback of a
Blu-ray disk on a BD player, which never have scart connectors AFAIA and
display the results on a 'non HDMI' telly via its scart connection.

They are not cheap; anyone toying with the idea would do well to
*thoroughly* check what I have said for themselves - I am *informed* it will
work BDP to TV and that the picture quality will be at least no worse and
may indeed be better than a DVD player connected via scart, but I have no
experience of this myself.

My own connections for movies (to digital projectors only) are HDMI all the
way through - for video and audio on one setup; video only on the other
setup with the audio connected two channel stereo only via the phono jacks.
