The TV has 3 SCARTS but unfortunately they don't all output the same signals. There is some mechanism within the TV that allows you to adjust what signal goes where. There are the usual RF connectors, stereo outputs, s-video connection for a video camera, component connectors which allow you to have High definition TV etc. THe VCR has two scarts one connected to the TV and one connected to the NTL set top box. It also has RF connectors and the usual stereo outputs.
The TV link is the automatic TV - VCR link similar to Sony's i-link which allows the TV and VCR to exchange information. When I play a video the VCR interrupts the current TV programme and plays the video. On my old VCR ( now defunct) the auto-setup on the TV sent all the channel info to the VCR and made the connection automatic.
If I want to activate Freeview I press a button on the remote and it just switches over from ordinary TV. Unfortunately, I cannot get the VCR to record the Freeview channels. Hope that clarifies things a bit.
