How do I set this lot up?

Could any of you guys help me with this little question?

I have a Sony KV-28FX60 with 3 scart sockets, the manual says,

AV1 - Scart RGB, S-Video and Composite.
AV2 - Scart S-Video and Composite (Video).
AV3 - Scart S-Video and Composite.
AV4 - Front S-Video and Composite.

And a Sony SLV-700 Video with 1 S-video input scart.

I have Sky and I am thinking of getting a PS2. So how do I connect up all of the bits, I currently have Sky in RGB mode into AV1 (great picture).

And my PS1 into AV3 - crap picture (lots of interference, like an aerial picture)

If I am going to get the PS2 I want the best out of it, (would I notice the difference buying a modified PS2 that could output RGB DVD?)

In short can I get a spilitter to put 2 RGB sources into 1 Scart?


Oh and how would this set-up change if I added a Sony HTK-215 into the mix.

Cheers

Im not totally sure, but I though I read that the PS2 outputs the games in RGB but the DVD film playback was in SVideo .. now maybe I got some crap info.. but you might like to check that out....

Is the Slv 700 SVHS? I thought that number was a normal VHS only model....

Perhaps you could daisy chain it all... connect the PS2 into the second scart on the video, the video AV1 scart into the Digibox VCR scart and the digbibox TV scart to your RGB scart socket on your TV.

Otherwise you need some sort of scart switcher box.. Someone else here likely can recommend one.. I haven't tried any for ages....

You're right about the PS2 outputting games in RGB, but it doesn't output DVD video in S-Video, just composite (well you get a green picture if you use RGB) - There is a workaround that enables RGB on DVD playback, but you need some electrical knowledge and a careless disregard for your warranty!
The details of this workaround are on the web somewhere, I can't remember where I saw them though (I don't have much use for them!)
