Hello all,
I need some help. My wife just had a go at me... wait! ... because she has to use 3 remotes to get up and running on my setup. :/
Heres hardware
Lexicon DC1 (s-vid in)
Sony WEGA CRT (scart in)
DVD player (scart or s-vid out)
Sky (scart out)
VCR (scart in/out)
PS2 (with s-video out)
I've wired the DVD thru the VCR and into the TV (Scarts)
Also the DVD digi audio into the DC1
To play a DVD she has to switch on VCR, switch to L2 (and push some other button), switch the DC1 into DVD and off we go!
I'd love to run all the video & audio thu the DC1 but as its only got composite/s-video I've had probs running the video signals all through the DC1 and out to the TV & VCR.
Has anyone got a nice solution to this?
Would be great just to use the DC1 to switch and run one vid cable to the monitor (TV) and another (rec/zone2) to the VCR. I realise this will involve lots of scart --> s-vid/composite and back to scart for the TV and VCR.
Audio is fine, its the vid signal I had probs with the VCR and TV being output at once. And I had probs with the audio out to the VCR...
And advice appreciated. I'll try to upload a diagram.
Thousand thanks,
B.
