I have done the 50/60hz mod. In both modes I get the same bad adjustement (in 60hz however it's smaller due to the "bigger" picture).

Just wondering, If I adjust the picture through service panel wouldn't be a problem when I connect another scart device to the tv? A dvd player I have connected through the same scart is properly adjusted. The problem only appears on Saturn.

this is probably causing the problem. its probably not outputting true 60Hz, somewhere "around" 60Hz, which your digital tv doesnt like. i had a problem when i was trying to use a PAL PS1 outputting full screen NTSC games, the TV wouldnt support the signal. best to just stick to true NTSC/60Hz consoles, unfortunately.

even if it doesn't output true 60hz signal shouldn't when I switch it to 50hz play fine?

edit: just tested it to my pal unmoded console and it does the same thing.

not too sure never owned a PAL console. but im guessing they were never designed to be connected up through RGB scart.

They were shipped with rgb cables so I guess there isn't the problem there.

From what I have tested:

when I connect the console (50/60hz doesn't matter, tested also an unmoded pal console) to my living room's tv I get a horizontal misadjustment. When I connect the console to my rooms tv I get horizontal and vertical misadjustment...

When I try to connect the rgb scart to the svideo scart input on both tvs the adjustment is really ok (except of the blury colors of course but that's normal because I used an rgb scart to an svideo scart input).

I am really confused because other scart devices adjust well in both monitors... :o
