Connecting DVD player etc. to TV

freakyogre

Sorry if this is a silly question, for some reason i've always struggled with connecting things to my TV as can never figure it out!

I've just set up my new TV (:D) which has digital/freeview already, so my freeview box is now not needed. Before I had my 'digi' box and dvd player set up, but as I now don't need this, i'd like to try and attach my VCR as well (yes, I still have one!!!)

At the moment I have: -
1 scart lead from TV to DVD player
Aerial into TV

I have a spare scart lead and aerial cable (sorry, not sure what it's officially called) and also a scart lead adaptor which has 4/5 extra bits I can use.

So, what goes where? I would assume the aerial would now need to be plugged into something else, but not entirely sure.

Thanks for any help

Assuming your tv has another scart you should plug the dvd player into scart 1 of the tv and the VCR into scart 2 of the tv

Hi,

you'll get a wee diagram here.

That diagrams slightly wrong frugal. Scart 2 is normally (if only 2 scarts) 'composite' only which is what the video is. The dvd should be RGB which will be scart 1. I also dont see much point in connecting the analogue aerial to the video if its going to be switched off soon.

Thanks for your replies.

My dad sent me a link to here http://www.which.co.uk/advice/setting-up-your-tv/tv-connection-wizard/index.jsp which was really helpful.

My tv only has one scart socket (seems odd?) so I have used my adaptor. They both work and I can now watch some videos I have had for ages, but never watched.
