Question:
A work colleague lash out on an all in one Panasonic DVD / AV setup & called me round when wiring it up didnt go to plan ...
His DVD/AV unit has one SCART (also has Svideo & video)
His Sony Sky Digital STB has two SCARTS
His TV has one SCART & no audio or Svideo connections
His VCR has one SCART only (no audio or Svideo)
As the TV has only one SCART I presume the Sony STB has to connect there and the DVD/AV goes into the other SCART on the Sony STB
The VCR is connected to the Sony STB on coax cables
With the kit set up as above there is Audio from the TV but no picture with the DVD/AV system on & when you turn it off the picture returns (but without the AV audio obviously)
My suggestion to him was to get a SCART to THREE SCART adapter & connect the Sony STB & DVD & VCR to that & hopefully his problems will be resolved ... Am I right or am I missing something ?
TIA - Paul ;)
Sounds like it should work ok.
Make sure all the scart leads are fully populated and turn on scart switching in the Sony STB set-up. Also if the tv only has one scart it might not support RGB so output something else first.
