TV connections

Hi,

Connections

Featuring just two HDMI inputs, the LG 32LD450 is one of the few HDTVs on the market today which may introduce some connectivity issues. Combine the LG 32LD450 with an external HDTV set-top box (there’s no Freeview HD tuner, remember), an HD games console, and a Blu-ray Player, and you’ll either have to introduce an HDMI switcher into the setup, or downgrade one of the devices to the Component video connection (if possible).
There’s also one SCART terminal, a set of Composite video inputs, and a PC “VGA” input, labelled RGB. There’s also a USB socket for using the LG 32LD450′s multimedia playback features.

Hello everybody. I hope there is an expert out there who can help me.
I have recently purchased a new TV and decided to give my old one to my 92 year old mother-in-law.
I have tried twice to set this up to no avail.
The first time i tried i realised that her equipment only connected with scart and there is only 1 scart on the new tv. I then purchased a scart splitter and thought that was the answer.
However today on trying again when playing a dvd the picture was all wavy and you could hear the sound from the tv at the same time.
She has a virgin set-top box with only scart connection, a dvd player also only with scart connection and a vhs video recorder (i know, but she is 92!!) again only with scart.
It is possible that there is a genius out there who can tell me how to configure this system so that everything works.
I would be very grateful
Thanks :):)

I would do this:-

- Connect the Virgin box to the input SCART of the VHS recorder.

- Connect the output SCART of the VHS recorder to the SCART splitter.

- Connect the DVD to the SCART splitter.

- Connect the output of the SCART splitter to the TV.

You will possibly find you get interference if you try to use the DVD at the same time as the other devices. You could try connecting the DVD to the phono inputs instead (the ones on the side that are yellow, white & red).

Hi.
The tv is an LG32LD450

Thanks everybody for your input so far

It's as @Inner Zone said earlier (and I suspected) you need a scart switch, not a splitter.

That said not all switches are equal, this one on Amazon gets good reviews and will suit you perfectly:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Ex-Pro-Premium-Black-Scart-Splitter/dp/B0012RGC6Q/ref=pd_lpo_23_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=WFVJ8X0P04BEW2DA2W88

Just £7.39 and free postage.

I would try Cornucopia's suggestion before spending any money. Let us know how it goes.
