[[Image:Alt_Scart_Connect.PNG|600px|thumb|none|Schematic to connect to RGB without requiring a 1.5V supply (Colour Picture) The 9V supply (as shown above) may still be required if the TV-Set has no AV Source Selector. If you experience picture flickering or the TV OSD appears intermittently while the CPC is connected, add a 100µf capacitor (optional) as shown above, this should resolve these problems. This setup won't work with all TVs. Some small 15" LCD TVs (for camping) have been reported to show ghost images with this setup, where a greyscale image is displayed besides the RGB image.]]
'''The alternative wiring has been reported to often not work with modern LCD TVs or Scart2HDMI converters. In those cases often a (bad) gray scale image will be displayed or there will be no picture at all. It is recommended to no longer use this wiring and instead provide a real 3V voltage on pin 16, e.g. by connecting it to the 5V power supply with the help of a simple voltage divider resistor:'''

<BR>The GX4000 offers a Scart socket for connection to a TV (The Pin connections are listed wrongly in it's manual!). You will need to use the power supply (if not already defective) as issued with the machine, when using a Scart lead.<BR>
<BR><b><u>POWER SUPPLY.</u></b><BR>
You will need to find a Power Supply Unit giving a 5 volt regulated DC output. The advanced 3 inch disc drive as fitted to the CPC6128+ does not require 12 volts. Both the CPC464Plus and GX4000 will work fine using the same 5 volt power supply. The <font color=red>+</font> voltage should be in the centre of the 2.5mm DC power connecting plug. <BR><BR>An excellent option to use as a Power Supply Unit, is as supplied by Commodore for their various models of computer. Cheap to buy, with a mains on/off switch and colour matched to the CPC+ machines. 5 volts DC is available from all units so far encountered (but do check the base of the unit See this Wiki article for specifications) with current ratings at between 2.5 and 4.3 amps. more information: [[Power_Supply_for_CPC_and_CPC_plus]]<BR><BR>
It is well worth the effort of making up a Scart lead and power supply unit for your CPC Plus/GX4000 machines, as the quality of picture and sound far exceeds that obtained from a Black/White or colour monitor. Games are given a new meaning when played using a 32 inch wide screen Television.<BR>
