connecting up recievers

johnodupont

Hi I would like some help connecting up a Samsung DVD recorder to record from
a. Panasonic sky reciever ( 2 scarts AVI (TV) & AV2(EXT))
b. Sagam digital reciever ( 2 scarts TV & VCR)
c. LG VCR (1 scart Euro AV)
I only want to set up the VCR to transfer tape to the DVD recorders hard drive.
My JVC TV has 2 scarts (EXT 1 & EXT 2)
I have a 5 way scart lead and plenty of scarts
all the equipment is quite old apart from the DVD
Anyone help please

The Sagem can be used as a loopthrough,
the Sky box cannot, and
I would not recommend the 5 way SCART lead at all.

So

RF lead

Aerial -> Sky box - > Sagem - > TV

Use the secondary RF output from the Sky box to power the VCR.

Then

SCARTS

VCR output - > Samsung input 2 -> JVC EXT 2

Sky TV output - > Sagem VCR input/TV output - > JVC EXT 1

Your TV should be able to loop the two SCARTs together should you need to record anything from the Sky or Sagem boxes using the on screen settings, but you may have to experiment with switching EXT 1 and 2 round.

There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness"
