NEC VR\M\5 Connection advice

I asked this question in another thread but got no reply, I wonder if someone could help me here

I have decided to order the 42VM5 today so it will be with me some time tomorrow (Friday 7\1\05)

Can anyone help with the best way to connect I have the following

SKY+
Cyberhome DVD
XBOX

Currently

DVD --> SCART --> SKY+ --> SCART --> TV
XBOX --> SCART --> TV

The NEC 42VM5 has the following connections,

Input Signals Video: - Composite/S; DTV: Y,Pb(Cb),Pr(Cr); RGB; PC

Input terminal RGB
- RGB1 Mini D-Sub15pin x 1
- RGB2 BNC (R,G,B,H/CS,V) x 1
- RGB3 DVI-D 24pin x 1

Input Terminal Video
- Video 1 BNC 1pin (Composite Video input)
- Video 2 RCA 1pin (Composite Video input)
- Video 3 S-Video input: DIN 4-pin x 1

Input Terminal HD/DVD/DTV
- DVD1 / HD1 = RCA-pin (Y, PB[CB], PR[CR]) x 1
- DVD2 / HD2 = BNC (Y, PB[CB], PR[CR]) x 1
- DVD3 / HD3 = DVI-D 24-pin x 1

I was thinking

DVD --> SCART --> SKY+ --> SCART --> PLASMA RGB2 BNC
XBOX --> SCART --> PLASMA DVD1 / HD1 RCA-pin

Does this make sense? I'm a beginner at this so please feel free to condemn

The attached image is of a XM3 but the layout is the same as the VR\M\5

 

RGB signal from scart can only be connected to DVD2 (BNC) input, but not to DVD1 (RCA). The other possibility to input RGB from scart is to RGB1 (D-Sub). I guess, you will need an adaptor for that. Doesn't your X-Box have component output? In this case you can connect it to DVD1 (RCA) input.

 

it might be better if you get a RGB-component converter or the RGB-VGA converter (both from JS tech) so you only have one cable going to the plasma

im assuming you're getting a scart-BNC and a scart-component cable to connect to RGB2 and HD1 respectively, im not sure if it's gonna work, most likely not

i maybe wrong though, let's wait for the experts

 

Thanks for your reply guys

I want to leave the D-SUB for connecting my laptop and in near future a PC to for VID capture

My XBOX does have component and I have some cheap leads that I am going to try out first

One thing that the list of connections does not make clear is that the RGB2 & DVD2 are the same connection the same is true for RGB3 & DVD3

So would the best connection be to put,

XBOX via XBOX Connector direct to DVD1 \ HD1-RCA
SKY+ via RGB SCART direct to RGB2 BNC\DVD2 \ HD2-BNC

Thanks again

 

Yes RGB2/DVD2/HD2 is one connection (BNC) and RGB3/DVD3/HD3 is the other connection (DVI).

If the XBOX Connector outputs component then yes, it'll work.
