-The KX-2501 could accept 15.75 kHz digital RGB signals through a connector (probably the same one you mentioned).
-The KX-2501A (later version) also accepted analog as well as digital ~15 kHz RGB through the same connector.
-Some later Sony sets also accepted ~15 kHz analog and digital RGB, sometimes through a DB25 connector. Models that could do this include the KV-25XBR and one called the XBR Pro.
-The XBR Pro is the same as a PVM-2530 if I remember right, and there was also a PVM-2030 and a PVM-3230 (these are all USA model numbers).
I hope some of that helps.

Thanks for the info - very informative
If you look at this picture (
http://i104.photobucket.com/albums/m...ofeelGroup.jpg) the monitor is the large 27 inch one at the back.
I've been reading around and found out the following info from other posts:
- my tech told me some sets had RGB available only with the "multi-input" while later versions had it as well with the PERI-TV but that it is easy to rewire the latter for RGB...
- I can get a color picture when I connect an RGB source to the SCART input, but it won't lock onto horizontal or vertical sync.
- The KX-20PS1 (at least all the ones that I have seen here in Australia, the French model may be different) has a 34 pin "multi" connector and a SCART connector. I think there is an RGB input on the "multi" connector, but I don't have the pinout. There is an RGB input on the SCART connector, but the pinout differs from the SCART "standard". From memory, the KX-20PS1 expects sync on pin 16, but most SCART TVs and cables have sync on pin 20. I haven't seen one of these monitors in ages so I could have it wrong.
- The profeel has a scart connector on the back but you need to add power 3v at least to pin 8 and a 100 resistor to pin 16 to your scart cable and i use a 3v transformer to power it. it will switch to rgb mode if you do this, otherwise the picture will jump.
It looks like I might have to do some rewiring. Does anyone have any ideas on how to rewire the SCART for RGB? Does the last comment suggest that the TV's SCART socket needs modifying as well as the SCART lead?
