NTL TV, DVD and PSONE connection?

[leecamowol]

Hi,

After my ex just moved out I want to move my PSone downstairs on my big TV. How do I connect my NTL set top box, DVD player and my PSOne together so they all function? At the moment my setup is like this:

NTL >> DVD connected by scart
NTL>>TV connected by scart
NTL >>cable connected to NTL TV cable

Thanks.

How many SCART sockets do you have on your TV?

Just one in the back of the TV.

Thanks

Sorry for answering you by asking a question! Most TVs and DVD players have 2 SCART sockets each, so assuming this to be the case with yours, this is what I suggest you do:

(names of sockets may be slightly different)

Connect your DVD player's AV1 (or RGB out) socket to your TV's EXT 1 (RGB) socket. (This ensures you view your DVDs in best quality)

Connect your NTL set top box to your DVD player's AV2 socket. (This is known as 'daisy-chaining')

Connect your PSOne output to your TV's EXT 2 socket.

If, however, your TV has only one SCART socket, you could either obtain and pug into it a '2 into 1' SCART adapter.

And if your DVD player has only one SCART socket also, you should obtain a '3 into 1' SCART adapter, plug that into your TV's socket, and connect all three of your input devices to that. (Maplin sells these accessories).

Sorry, I didn't see your answer before I posted my second reply!

If your NTL box and DVD player both have two SCART sockets, I think you can 'daisy-chain' all three input devices into your TV's single socket like this:

PSOne to DVD player's AV2,

DVD player's AV1 to NTL's 2nd socket (mine's labelled 'VCR'),

NTL's 1st socket (labelled 'TV') to TV.

But if your DVD player has only one SCART socket, I think you're going to need at least one '2 into 1' SCART adapter or switched adapter somewhere in your system.

I hope this helps.

Hey, leecamowol, how did you get on? Is it OK now?
