TV connection

[Scarlett]

I want to change a blue white and yellow connection on the back of my tv to a scart instead. I have a connector piece that converts scart to yellow white and red, but I need one that does the opposite!
Is it possible to get these? And if so what are they called?!

you can buy a scart to AV adapter with an input/output switch on (the same as what you have but with a switch) so buy one of these and some AV leads then your sorted

You won't get a 'solid' adapter because the sockets can be spaced out differently on different TVs, so you can't just plug in an adapter in the same way that you can into a Scart socket.

You not stated what will be at the other end of the lead to the TV. If it's something with a Scart socket, what you need is a cable with a Scart plug at one end (to go into your unknown device) and RCA plugs at the other (to plug into your TV). Such leads are variously known as 'Scart-to-RCA', 'Scart-to-phono' or 'Scart-to-AV'. (They're just different names for the same thing). Some shops charge 'an arm and a leg' for them (e.g. �19.99 in Curry's) but Tesco sell them for �4.97 (and 'discount' stores sometimes have them even cheaper).

All it is, is that my current set up (TV, Sky, dvd recorder, VHS) needs 2 scarts from the TV set out.
I am planning on getting rid of my massive TV to buy a small flat screen one but these all seem to only have 1 scart and a number of yellow, white, red sockets. So I wanted to convert one of them into a scart so I know my set up would work!

Thanks for the reply. The type of lead I've described should do the job OK. Tesco have recently repackaged the lead. It used to be under the 'Teknica' brand name at �1.97. It's now a 'Tesco Value' item at �4.97, which brings Tesco's definition of 'value' into question!

However, Tesco's price is still cheaper than the big hi-fi and electrical shops and it will be the easiest place to find one without paying a fortune.

Chris- do you think you could find a pic of one and post a link to it on here, just so I know what I am looking for?!
Thankyou!

Here's a pic of one of mine:

If you're looking in Tesco, they're packed into small clear bags, with a cardboard tag in Tesco's 'value' colours. (i.e. white card with red and blue on it). The label reads something like 'Scart to 3 Phono Lead'. They're often stocked close to the blank CDs and DVDs.

Thankyou for that! I will hunt one down at Tescos....x
