I really would be grateful for some experienced input.
I have set up my new Hanspree YT07-32E1-000G 32" HD LCD TV which for various reasons I need to attach quite bit of equipment to
VCR
DVD recorder
Karaoke DVD player
3rd DVD - a really cheap one that plays anything the others wont!
Sky box (not HD) this is the only way I can get TV digital or otherwise
(therefore no arial connection)
Wii games console
PC with access to my wireless network to play wmv's and look at photos
HiFI
there is a diagram of how I have it set up at the moment here -http://www.crr.org.uk/tv.jpg -and its all working however there are a couple of issues I havent resolved
1) the only audio out on the TV appears to be the headphone socket which I dont think is much use for connecting to my hi fi aux socket - all the composite sockets seem to be input only. (this might just be the problem of buying a budget TV but we all have a budget and this one came in at £300 about $600 inc delivery and tax!.) For DVDs I can use the DVD recorder audio out but obviously anything coming from another source is not re-directed - there is nothing in their booklet about audio out so guess I may be stuffed on this one.
2) I am using the i/o scart for the DVD recorder and the input only one for the other dvds and vcr through a scart block - this means I have to route the Digital signal through my DVD recorder rather than the TV and I find that I cant get digital teletext as a result.
I wondered if anyone could suggest any better way of setting this up - I dont plan on buying any HD equipment for some time yet (spent up!) and I have no arial signal for a freeview digital box - only sky! The only equipment that already has HD is the Wii and I am waiting for the lead to arrive for that.
I would be really grateful for any ideas - you can post here or EMAIL me direct.
