Does the box of tricks advertised in www.sonel.com really work??
Is it just scart (dvd) > scart (vcr)? or can you use it scart(dvd) > video & audio l/r leads (vcr)??
Cheers

They do work well but good one tend to cost alot of money and the cheap ones (sub £100) some really do "mess" with the picture quality.
If you do want to "backup" your dvd`s either upgrade dvd to one where the macrovision can be turned off. or DIVX your dvd`s on to CD`s.

SCART carries both analogue audio and video signals : not quite sure why you`d need to do this ?

hi ....... I need to do this because I have run out of scarts on the back of the video!!!
Ive got sky/dvd/playstation/tv/vcr all connected up & its all a bit messy round the back, so I though the easy way would be to go from spare scart on back of dvd player to the front av inputs on vcr.
Tell me Im wrong & I`ll gladly reconsider!!
What "accessories" on the sonel site do I need to enable above connections? Or can I wire it all up differently so that I just need to buy the basic "box"?

Could you confirm how many SCART sockets your TV and VCR have please, and I`ll see what I can come up with :-)

Hi
I have 2 on TV (Sony) both in use ...... one for dvd one for sky.
1 on dvd ...... also has (I believe) audio/video out jacks.
I have 2 on vcr ..... one for sky, the other free but nothing to plug into it!
Ive also got a scart "splitter" for Playstation > TV but it doesnt work, so I manually change dvd/playstation over if kids are being annoying!
Cheers for your help
