Firstly the component method probably won't make a noticeable difference.
(As long as RGB is being fed via the SCART)

No, SCART1 is RGB (but I use it for my digibox). SCART2 is just a standard
one, which I'm having to plug my DVD player into..

Right, gotcha.

If the jacks on the player and Yellow, Red and White it sounds like
composite (not component) video and left/right audio... You will want to
avoid composite video at all costs!

Ah, okay. So composite leads (Y/R/W) just wouldn't produce any picture
when connected to component inputs? So I need component leads? That would
explain it!

Composite and component are quite different things! Indeed they can both be
transmitted using the same type of leads (Phono's)

What's the DVD player?

Toshiba SD210EB player. The TV's a Toshiba 37XV505DB.

Thanks for replying, btw! Really appreciate any help. It does seem like
I'm just confused about composite and component leads... doesn't it?

The SD210 doesn't output 'component' - therefore you won't be able to
connect it to the component in on the TV. The DVD has a S-Video output so
this would be the next best option for quality. (Presuming the TV can accept
S-Video)

Just to confuse matters, SCART can carry RGB, S-Video and composite signals.
A RGB-SCART switch box could be another option?
