RGB means Red Green Blue, which is the norm for PAL composite input.

Just to be clear, RGB means that the red, green and blue signals are carried on separate wires, whereas a composite signal has all three colours encoded onto a single cable. Some SCART connectors only have a composite connection, which means that the signals have to be encoded and decoded, with some resultant loss of quality. Separate RGB signals provide the highest quality.

Also with some scart cables you may still see some of them marked as 'All pins connected'
That means that all 21 pins are connected, on some scarts only some of the cables are connected which is why sometimes some people have recording problems but not viewing problems.

Plus, the dearer the cable does not mean it is that much better than a £3.99 one from down the road (you can stick the £20, & £30 cables)

Just changing the subject slightly, but no replies thanks.

Aldi thursday 17th November have got a pair of HDMI leads for sale at £6.99
The cheapest I have ever come across was about £15 each.
