![]() With a PVR substituted for the Sky+ box, I have Aerial -> PVR ->VCR -> TV Scart1 : PVR -> TV Ext1 Scart2 : DVD Player -> TV Ext2 Scart3 : PVR <-> VCR using the bi-directional scarts at each end It does mean the TV doesn't automatically switch to playing a tape, but it autoswitches to play a DVD or to the PVR instead. |

I would suggest that the vcr (Composit only anyway!) be connected via a scart to three lead composit (Video,stereo left,stereo right) cable. This is based on the idea the vcr has two scarts!? but alot of screens have this input at the side, leading to ugly hanging cables from the side of the unit.

The only time you need to do this is if you want to feed the Sky RF out and aerial loop-through to a TV in another room. |
