Does the player have component video / audio output? I use this from our player/HDD recorder to the TV as it can output pure RGB in progressive scan for better quality

Re: What have you just bought?
A digital carbon monoxide meter. (~£28) I want to check out the gas fire in the front room to see if it needs extra ventilation. Several unexplained illnesses have occurred over the last couple of years in wintertime that could be CO related.
Possibly my overzealous pursuit of droughts.

Re: What have you just bought?
Warrior Supplements had an offer of 300mg microionised creatine, 300mg pre-workout and 300mg non-stim BCAA pre-workout.
Usually £15 each, I had them all for £27. Couldn’t let that offer pass me by.

It has RGB SCART. Been reading and most converters don't handle RGB so would need to spend a bit more on one of those. Found one that does do RGB -> HDMI at around £40, most units that do RGB cost as much as a new player.
Because of other expenses this is on pause - Home and both car insurance, both car service and MOT are all due Jan - Mar.

Ours was £10 dearer but its now fixed for the next 3 years. Did the same haggle with car insurance and saved nearly £40 on that, again fixed for 3 years.
Just bought a thick woolley jumper, last day of sale and final reduction. Paid £10.99 was £32.99 and I got free delivery thrown in.
