Default Composite looks better than RGB! That cant be right?

Hello,

I have a Cambridge audio DVD player that I have been using via a scart
cable to my Sony television using RGB with no problems. I have just
bought a panasonic plasma television and now the DVD player looks
really green unless I change the signal to composite video from RGB. I
was always led to believe that the RGB signal was superior to
composite but for some reason in this situation this is not the case.
Please can anyone tell me what the problem may be? Many thanks in
advance.

Gary

Are you sure the SCART connection on the TV is set for RGB? Sometimes
different SCART sockets expect different input, or can be changed in the
config.

Sounds like a wiring or input problem.

An RGB signal will give far better results (just try a snooker match) than
composite.

PS are you sure you are not playing NTSC stuff?
