Many thanks for replying.
Yes, sorry about that –we hadn’t been aware of the distinction between Composite and Component Video!
However an inexpensive SCART to Composite A/V adaptor has solved all of our problems and we now have our Hackvision console up and running.
It may be worth pointing out that newer, lower-end TVs in EU area might not support Component video input, in which case an adaptor lead is possibly the way to go.
Best wishes and thanks again
