1 Answers
hi i'm trying to connect an analogue portable tv to a digibox and a dvd recorder . i'm faced with a mulitude of scart sockets and leads. so far i've managed to get a picture through but can't seem to get an input from dvd recorder
to sum up i've got
14 inch analogue tv with 1 scart socket
1 digibox with 2 scart sockets on , 1 marked tv and other marked vcr and aerial in/ out sockets
1 dvd recorder with 2 scart sockets on, 1 marked out scart out /tv and the other marked scart in / decoder and aerial in/out sockets
finally in case my tv is no good, with it only having 1 scart socket i also have a scart adaptor with 1 scart lead attached and 3 sockets to insert scart leads into
help and advice as to what goes where would be much appreciated
