Help with Sharp LC42XD1EA LCD
Hi Folks
Again I'm having problems linking things to my TV!! I got a new LCD TV last night and would like to the following connected (or should I say my wife would!). We have Virgin TVdrive, DVD player and VCR, both JVC. What I want to do is link up the TV to: 1. DVD (scart?) 2. VCR and have cable programs through this so we can tape if we want. 3. Be able to switch to watch freeview channels if we want to while tvdrive and vcr are taping? Is this possible? Integral tuner / av box: Integrated PAL/SECAM Input port 1: HDMI x 2 Input port 2: SCART x 2 Input port 3: AV/S-Video In Input port 4: RS232C Input port 5: PC In (no RGB) Output port 1: Audio out http://www.sharp.co.uk/invt/lc42xd1ea Any help in the right direction would be great. Cheers, John |

Not sure about the Virgin box, does this have 2 x scarts? I assume so? if so scart from this to tv, Video into second socket on Virgin box. Then DVD to second scart on TV.
