We are trying to connect our VCR output to the video input of the
Philips 410 and then use the RGB and sync output from the 410 to drive
a monitor. Essentially we want to use the 410 to convert the VCR video
signal to RGB plus sync signals.

We get the RGB signals and the sync, but the sync is unstable.
Can anybody help us?

Here's what we've tried. If you don't know about the Philips 410 it
won't make much sense.

For input to 410:
	VCR out connected to CVBS in.
	Other CVBS IN terminated or looped to sync IN with and without other
	sync IN terminated.

For output from 410:
	RGB from SCART socket and sync from sync OUT all connected to
	various combinations of monitor inputs.

	This works fine if we just play a laserdisc, but when we tell
	the 410 to use its CVBS input instead we get the problem with the
	sync.
