Can anyone let me know the connections for the following in simple terms please:
I have a Sharp Aquos LCD TV, a Virgin Box and just purchased a Sony DVD Hard Drive Recorder.
The TV has 2 scart sockets (1 RGB and 1 AV) and 2 HDMI sockets (HDMI and HDMI/Audio)
The box has 2 scarts (1 TV and 1VCR)
The DVD recorder has 2 scarts(line 1 Decoder and Line 3 TV) and also HDMI out.
The Sony handbook seems to be written for an electronics engineer and is totally confusing.
If it helps I would like to utilise the HDMI connection if possible
Your help would be appreciated as I am tying myself and the cables in knots....thanks in advance.
Connections: LCD TV, Virgin Box, DVD Recorder....help please?
Connect the Sony DVD to the TV by HDMI.
Connect the Virgin box by SCART (out) to the Sony (VCR/DVD), and the SCART (TV out) to the TV.
SInce the Virgin box has no HDMI, you can't use it. i.e. the HDMI, I mean.
Reply:Oh that sucks....GET an HD BOX for your Virgin TV...
Then connect Both units to the HDMI inputs, the DVD player should be connected to the HDMI / audio one for DOLBY surround....
Other than that, you end up having to watch VIRGIN in low Def quality instead of Hi Def quality....But you connect your PRESENT VIRGIN BOX to the Scart labled AV.....
And there's your LOW DEF connection.....
Oh that sucks.....Oh that suckity sucks...
All your TV viewing in LOW DEF....Hours and HOURS and HOURS of the MAIN TV Viewing....in Looooooow Def.
And your DVD has a BETTER connection than your MAIN source of Viewing Pleasure !
Oh that sucks.....Oh that Suckity sucks....
Reply:I think that you'll find the Virgin box has a HDD recorder inside of it so you can record your programs straight to it so all you need to do is connect the Virgin box to your tv via scart, the dvd recorder to your tv via the hdmi port and then if you want to record from Virgin onto the dvd recorder just connect the dvd recorder to the virgin box via scart.
