MEC176 10 #1 Posted October 13, 2020 Any technical bod’s out there, just had to buy a new T.V. not surprised but today’s all singing and dancing T.V.’s don’t have Scart connections any more the woman in John Lewis say’s you need a Scart to HDMI lead to connect my Video recorder to it but there are so many on Amazon any one give me a clue which is which.

L00b 441 #2 Posted October 13, 2020 Didn't your new TV come with a SCART 'dongle' (female SCART input at one end, and some connector or other at other end, frequently a 3.5mm jack connector)? Many of them do, e.g. Samsung, so maybe double-check your TV box/packaging? Otherwise, SCART is for analogue signals, HDMI is for digital signals, so whichever you pick, make sure that there is some sort of signal conversion (transforming the RGB waveform signal into 0s and 1s) happening between both ends of the 'lead', or you might end up being disappointed.

MEC176 10 #3 Posted October 13, 2020 Thanks for that we haven't actually got it yet it will be delivered next week just trying to get in front with the right cable before it arrives. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Guest #4 Posted October 13, 2020 You should be able to find the manual on the manufacturers website then you'll see what comes with it. As L00b says, failing that you'll need a signal convertor, plenty on amazon/ebay etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Uod59 0 #5 Posted October 13, 2020 Chances are the TV may not come with an adapter, and will instead only support composite (yellow lead that's a phono/rca) All you'll need in this instance is a scart to composite cable which you should be able to get quite cheap. If you post a link to the TV you've purchased we can confirm what you need. Don't spend stupid money on a scart to hdmi converter.

despritdan 241 #6 Posted October 13, 2020 I bought an adaptor from amazon a couple of years ago which works. The scart cable plugs in at one end and the HDMI cable at the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
MEC176 10 #7 Posted October 19, 2020 Evening all, thanks for your input and surgetion's to help solve this problem, did'nt need to buy a Scart to HDMI cable as I already had a HDMI cable connected from the VCR so I connected it to the New Sony TV and it worked.
