Connecting without Scart

This question will reveal i have an ancient TV, but nevermind.

Is it possible to connect a dvd player when i don`t have a scart socket on my TV?

I do however have one on my video though.

Yes it is, but you might have a problem with MacroVision.

Heres how I have mine setup.

DVD --- SCART ---> Video --- RF Cable ---> TV.

Now put your TV onto your Video channel as normal, and selevt the AV channel on your Video.

Macrovision stops DVD`s being copied to Video. I have no problem playing DVD`s through my video, but as soon as I press record the Macrovision kicks in.

However, on another video the Macrovision is always enabled, whether you are just watching the DVD or trying to record.

Depends on the video I think.

Hope this helps,

NiVZ.

Thanks. That helps loads with the set-up.

In the 2nd circumstance, you say macrovision is always enabled. This prevents copying, are you saying it also stops you watching?

Cheers
