Help connecting everything together

I need some advice on how to connect all my audio video equipment together and what cables connect where etc for best picture and sound.
First of all here is a list of what Ive got
Toshiba ET1 Projector (with 1 scart, RGB, S-Video)
Panansonic SC-HT520 Home Theatre Sound System (incl dvd with 1 scart, RGB, S-Video)
Sky+ box (2 scarts *1 TV out 1 VCR out * S-Video)
Video (1 Scart)
TV (1 Scart) (& a yellow red & white connector??)
Now the questions
I need to have my projector on the ceiling and I can feed any wires through the ceiling the approx length to dvd, tv etc is 30ft
I want to be able to watch TV but also be able to switch to the Projector for either DVD playback or just general SKY viewing, both of these I would like to be connected to the surround sound system.
I would prefer the better DVD pictures to the Projector but I also watch a lot of sports and would also like a good SKY signal to the projector also.
I have heard about a scart switcher and heard good reports about the QUINTRO+ . Would this do everything I need and if so what cables do I need from each device?? and which connect to what?
I'd really appreciate any help in this as Im completely baffled with all these different cables etc
Thanks for reading this and for any help.
Cheers
Jon
