Looping Through SCART's

Hi all, Im going to do some VHS duplication with about 4 VCR's, can I just connect the first one from my source, then connect each one after the other through the SCART in and out, or will there be some serious signal loss.
Or should I buy a 4 way SCART distribution amplifier for 50 quid

cheers,

Why not test it 1st, see what the qual is like.

If not happy, then invest in one of those splitters.

I've done this in an emergency at shows. There is some increase in noise as you go down the chain, but it does work.

Increase in noise and with some video recorders you can sync between audio and video. I've use a Quintro from B-Tec to do this before, there's a setting that changes it from 5:1 scart switcher to 1:5 distribution amp!!
