Component scart cable

Question

Have a PANASONIC TX- 36PL30 36" which I think, but am not sure, has a "rgb scart".
Does that mean I can use it with aTV, and would I need a "special" component to scart adapter for rgb signals, or is it ok with any brand as long as my tv has rgb scart input? Can I use component cables with an adapter that has red-white-yellow rca:s in one end an scart in the other? I reads that any rca:s goes with component jacks, but that might not be the case for adapters. Or do I better use one of those listed below on ebay, that has a real scart termination?

Also, as the TV has a digital box which must be connected to the (only) RGB scart input (It seems to lose color when connecting it to the other scarts), is there a component/rgb compatible scart switch I can use to switch between the aTV and digital box? I know there are expensive adapters like Hama that converts component and has multiple scart jacks, but I'd rather go for cheaper and less bulky stuff if possible. Thanks for any input.

SCART RGB input is not the same as component signal.
SCART RGB is higher quality than basic composite (the yellow connectors) but not as good as component.

No.
Would I need a "special" component to scart adapter for rgb signals, or is it ok with any brand as long as my tv has rgb scart input?
I don't know of any cheap/simple adapters that work but you can get converters to change the component signal to RGB for SCART or composite and probably S-video. These converters are not simple connection 'adapters' and tend to be very expensive.
Can I use component cables with an adapter that has red-white-yellow rca:s in one end an scart in the other?
No that's for poor quality composite video (yellow) and stereo audio (white and red).
I reads that any rca:s goes with component jacks, but that might not be the case for adapters. Or do I better use one of those listed below on ebay, that has a real scart termination?
I cannot comment on the products listed.
If you can find a user review that says these things convert component signal to SCART RGB then they might work, but as I said proper converters tend to be expensive.
