Hi,

I have just got a new Tv with one SCART socket. I have connected SKY+ box to TV with Scart, then connected DVD to sky+ box with scart (in Video scart). Put sky on standby and turned dvd on and cannot see the dvd player on tv. i have looked at settings etc and scart is ON in menu in Sky+.

Is there a setting I have missed somewhere? Can any one give me ideas on how to see the dvd player through Sky+ on the tv.

Mike,

Thanks for the response. The TV is a Panasonic TXL39E6B. Just a bit confused as i keep reading the way I set it up should work and then you stated prob wont as DVD will need to be direct to TV.

Yes the RGB connection work as Wii is working fine. As Wii is in there is there another option i.e buy a scart extension block or something as really dont want to go down Blue ray direction yet.

I guess could get HDMI lead but need to check if sky+ or DVD will take it.

Mike,

yes thanks for that. Yes wife said look at manual which i did and they showed daisy chain (but the sky into dvd and the dvd to the tv - which i did not think much off - did not work anyway) But they drawing also showed HDMI leads (think they were covering there bases).

I will check if DVD is hdmi (doubt it though) so will prob end up getting a splitter and try that.

Only got TV yesterday and got it going - but so far yes very impressed with the picture and TV. My wife connected it to web etc and had a little mess around with it. From what I have seen the menus etc are easy to sort out - Had to adjust the picture as very bright so i had to navigate my way to sort that out.. So far could not fault it.

Thanks for your help.
