Question:
Does anyone else have so many stuff attached to their TV that they are seriously lacking enough connections?
Mine is as follows.
DVD Recorder connected to TV via RGB.
DVD Player (for R1 and SVCD) connected to TV via S-video
Freeview box connected to DVD recorder via RGB loopthrough
SVHS recorder number 1 connected to TV scart 2 via Y/C scart and to DVD recorder via s-video
Old 5.1 decoder doesnt take optical so is connected via coax to my DVD player.
SVHS recorder number 2 connected to SVHS number 1 via Y/C enabled scart
DVD Recorder connected to 5.1 decoder via stereo out until i get a new decoder....
Does anyone else have such a maze? It took me an hour last night just to sort everything out.
And this hasn't even mentioned my CD/MD/tape audio system....
Well, sort of similar...
Sources: DVD, Laserdisc, SVhs, Freeview STB, Audio cassette deck, plus a portable DVD.
Reproducing devices: 22inch TV, plus front projector, plus 7 channel AV receiver.
Wiring:
DVD - Composite and SVideo, L&R analog audio and Coax Digital audio to Amp. Component video to Projector.
LD - Composite, SVideo, L&R analog audio to amp.
SVhs - Composite, SVideo and L&R analog audio to AND from amp.
Freeview STB - RGB Scart direct to TV. Composite, Svideo, L&R analog audio, plus optical digital audio to amp.
Audio Cassette - L&R analog audio to AND from amp.
Portable DVD - cables in place to connect it up when required - Composite and Svideo and Optical Digital to amp (no analog audio cable in situ).
(phew)
and then....
Composite and SVideo from Amp to TV.
Composite and Svideo from Amp to Projector.
Subwoofer cable from amp to sub.
Subwoofer cable from TV to sub.
5 x speaker cables to satellite speakers (only use 5 of my 7 channels at the moment)
Plus....
RF (radio) from wall to receiver
RF(TV) from wall > set top box > SVhs > TV
and a huge heap of mains cables (including one for the portable DVD).
Well, can I add a load of RF and mains cables to my list then? :p
I've got loads of stuff passed through my Pioneer Amp.
DVD Player - RGB 1 + Coaxial connection to AMP
Video Recorder - Scart Socket 2 + Analogue Stereo connection to AMP
Playstation 2 - S-video Passed through Amp + Digital optical connection
Gamecube - S-video Passed through Amp + Analogue DPLII connection
X-box - S-video Passed though Amp + Digital optical connection
Leeching Sky off the Digibox downstairs through the RF cable, which is just mono and not great quality.
