Fantastic! You were totally right. It was the second SCART that worked with 
S-Video, and on my TV there's an AV2/S channel which displays it in colour. This 
is a Panasonic. Reading the manual carefully did reveal one line mentioning 
S-Video and the second SCART socket, so I should have picked it up earlier but I 
get impatient when wading through pages of seemingly unhelpful documentation. 
They had sneaked it in on the page describing a 'normal' set-up with a DVD 
player and a satellite receiver, and made no mention of it on the pages 
describing other AV inputs.

Thanks for the help.
