I also have a 1081 monitor, when I try using the SCART connector to connect my
Amiga to my new colour TV, it behaves very strangely. First, the stereo sound
seemed fine but the screen was blank. Then I found that if I press the
TeleText button the image from my Amiga showed up "genlocked" with the
Teletext. Since then, I've tried a few different TV and they all seemed to do
the same thing ( TV tried : Mitsubishi, Sony, Bang & Olufsen ). Can anyone
tell me why this is so?
