can it be done and if so is it just a matter of scarting them all together?

I've got my PC, TV, Video, PS2, Sky box, Video player and DVD player all linked together




I have no idea how I did it


But I did :D

If your tv has got twoScart outlets in the back then yeah, just plug the dvd and video in them

Yes very easily

If your TV has 2 scart sockets then just run a scart from the DVD into one and another from the Video to the other

You then use the AV button to swap between the two

But you might also want to record from DVD to Video, Ones that you are allowed to copy that is ofcourse

in which case your TV aerial goes into you video.
Then run either a fly lead or scart lead from the video to the TV

Then run a scart lead from DVD to video.

If you also have a sky box, i wouldnt bother running a scart from DVD to video, and run the scart straight into tv from DVD player

then run the scart from the sky box to the video.
