Hi,

My first post and it is a question.

I have a TV with 2 scart sockets and want to connect Sat box, VCR, DVD player and games console using Blue delta Smart-scart switch to connect the 4 boxes.

Now this is my question: - As the Smart-scart switch only requires one scart connection on the TV which of the 4 boxes would be better plugged into the second scart socket of the TV or should all 4 go through the Smart switch.

Is the second scart in on your TV RGB enabled? If not, you wouldn't want to connect Sky, DVD (and possibly games console) to a composite only scart socket. Are all ins on smart scart switch RGB enabled? If not, how many are?

Does your TV output its digital signal through either scart - and if it does, would you ever want to use this feature to record Freeview? If so, your VCR must be directly connected to the required scart.

TV scart 1 = RGB and scart 2 = SVHS according to the manual

Scart switch = 4 x RGB and record loop 1 & 2

Well, if you were going to use scart 2 on the TV, you would only plug your VCR into it. Cos Sky and DVD (and possibly game console) all require RGB for best picture quality.

So no advantage in using TV scart 2.

Thanks for your advice
