Connecting Sky, DVD, VCR and TV

[michaelkilburn]

Hello

I am trying to link up the following equipment so that I can record from satellite onto the DVD, as well as recording from the VCR to the DVD (there is no need to record to the VCR itself):

TV: Samsung LE32R41BD (2 Scarts + component video)
DVD: Pioneer DVR-433H (2 Scarts + component video)
Sky: Thomson (2 Scarts)
VCR: Toshiba (1 Scart)

The manuals all seem to have different versions of the wiring diagram (so did the Sky engineer). I plan to use the component video connection to the TV.

Any ideas of the best approach to linking this equipment? Thanks for any help.

One thing to look out for is that the Sky box only has 1 RGB out scart (the other is composite). You can loopthrough the DVD Recorder if it has RGB in, but it's worth comparing the signal you get looping it compared to wiring directly to the TV.
