Its a slightly off-topic but please can someone guide me through a mine-field of 'scart'?
I've got all the gear and got all the cables and switchers but, oh dear, I just can't find a sensible way of getting it all together?!
I have...
- Pace NTL STB with 2 scarts (1 to VCR and 1 to TV)
- Yamada DVR-8000 DVD recorder with 2 scarts (1 as input and 1 to TV)
- Matsui VCR with 1 scart
- and a feed coming over S-VHS coming from the PC.
- 2 Argos '4 way scart switchers'
- a TV with 1 Scart input.
- RF feed available to upstairs
- a box, a carrier bag and another box full of scart cables!
There are some things that I have to achieve from this setup....
1. Be able to watch via RF upstairs (The VCR is working as an 'RF modulator' to get signal from DVD recorder to upstairs. (Yamada doesn't send any signal of its own over RF - its just a pass-thru))
2. Need to be able to copy from VHS to DVD recorder.
3. To be able to record NTL STB to DVD recorder (and, ideally, VCR)
How on earth can I get this lot plumbed together into a use-able system???
I also have a Yamaha DSP-A592 amp that has a whole load of S-VHS switching available but I've, to date, avoided that route as I want to, ummm, "keep it simple!"
Any advice, guidance, comforting words or hints and tips would be really welcomed!
Peck!
