    S.A. DVD-player > TV via SCART or RCA Composite ?

    I have bought my first stand-alone DVD-player;
    Daewoo DQD-6100D for $50.

    Its' audio output I'm going to send to my old stereo,
    as I have no surround audio setup yet.

    But the video output is what I'm wondering about.

    As this unit was bought in Europe, it has 3 video outputs:

    1. A SCART / Euro / Peritel connector
    2. An S-Video output connector
    3. A RCA yellow "phono-plug" composite video output connector


    My TV has 2 video input connectors:

    1. A SCART / Euro / Peritel connector
    2. A A RCA yellow "phono-plug" composite video input connector


    I have read about the SCART connector at

    - and since it says that a SCART can transmit both

    1. RGB video signals
    2. S-Video signals
    3. Composite video signals

    ..I wonder which of those my DVD-player are capable of sending,
    and also which of those my $250 Hitachi 21" TV are capable of receiving.

    That is - should I

    1. Use the composite video cable that came with the DVD-player
    - or
    2. Buy a SCART-to-SCART cable, and hope that it's not just a waste of money
    - because it still would only be transmitted composite video signals through it?


    How high-end, how expensive must ones' equipment be, for it to
    utilize S-Video / RGB video signals ?
