Connecting Sky box,VCR & DVD Player

aardvaak

Can anyone advise me on the following problem:-

My TV has an AV1 & AV2 connections on it which I have had my Sky box plugged into then onto my VCR/DVD Recorder which has worked ok. However my VCR/DVD Recorder has packed beyond repair and I wish to now connect my Sky box, temp. to a cheap VCR recorder and also a DVD player that I have lying around.

How do I connect all three together so that Sky is on AV1 & the VCR & DVD players are on AV2/

Or is there any other way of connecting them?

Sky AV1 - TV AV1
Sky AV2 - VCR
DVD Player - TV AV2

So are you saying AV1 on TV to Sky then link Sky to VCR then a direct link AV2 on TV to DVD?

On the back of my sky box the TV AV1 currently goes to the bottom scart plug and the VCR curently goes to the AV2 plug on TV.

What would happen if I connected the DVD to the unused top scart plug on the sky box?

Answer:- You'll only be able to watch Sky when the DVD player is off, and you won't be able to record from Sky.

Thank you for your help.

BTW The Scart sockets on the Sky Digibox are usually labelled TV and VCR.
