The default cable has Pin3 on the GS end connected to Pin20 on the
Scart end. I also tried connecting to PIN12 on the GS to Pin20 on the
Scart. I had to use Pin12 on the Samsung T200HD to get the picture to
sync properly...if i didn't it would shift every 20 seconds or so
slightly then become stable. Using Pin12 it would only shift once when
switching resolution.
