Can anyone help to set up...

TV 1 scart socket
DVD 1
Digi 2
Vhs 1

My daughter has spent a small fortune on different leads to try and connect but she needs help!!
She has a 4 way scart connection box.

Thanks

HI
What happens if she connects all three devices(dvd, digi, vhs) into the 4 way scart then connect the scart box to the tv.

Connect scarts to the appliances except the telly. Connect other end of scarts into the 4 way adaptor. On the 4 way adaptor it should have a lead with a scart plug attached to the end, attach this to the telly. Turn telly on and check that everything works. By default the dvd player when powered up overides everything else, next comes the video and then the digi(sky/cable/freeview) box.

If the above doesn't work then I'm sure that other mse'r will be along shortly.

Hi scoot
Just phoned her, she's at football practice with little'un. She will do what you said and get back to me. She's unplugged and plugged so many times she doesn't know what she has done!!
This is going to have to be a 3 way conversation as she's not on the net.

Thanks
Renee

This brings me to my nightmare. We will be moving house soon and I have: 2xTV; PC; DVD; VHS; Freeview; Phone; Fax; Printer; Scanner; Modem, Amp and Speakers x2 all wired together (or in close proximity) and through to different rooms; it's like spaghetti junction at the back and I won't remember how it all ties together. Arghhhhh

Use some masking tape or similar and label all your connectors, problem solved.

I think it all works now. The only thing I had to do differently was to put the tv aeriel into the digibox.

thanks everyone
