Can I view a DVD from Pacific1002w on multiple TVs

RobShorts (Harmless) posted this on Sunday, 30th November 2003, 14:57

I`m new to this DVD scene, so after reading various reviews for inexpensive dvd players I decided to buy the Pacific 1002w. After much searching I`ve just managed to find an ASDA that actually had a stock of Pacific 1002w DVD Players. I`ve set it up using a scart lead direct to my TV (AV2) and it works perfectly. I`ve also got a sky box (into AV1) and a VCR in my configuration. THE RF out out my VCR goes to a splitter/booster that enables me to watch sky & video in other rooms. Is it possible to alter my set up to show the output from the DVD into other rooms or can it only be transmitted to the TV via the scart lead.

Unfortunately, yes that`s right. There`s no RF signal involved in the case of a DVD player.

If you were to connect the scart from the dvd into the vcr, the vcr would modulate the signal into RF and down the aerial cables. All you would do is select `ext` or `av` instead of a channel number on the vcr.

NB because of Macrovision copy protection built into the vcr and dvd, you will probably find the dvd picture routed via the video is unwatchable as Macrovision usually kicks in at this point (whether you`re recording or not).

Best option is a video sender.
