Hello. I have just taken delivery of this machine
Panasonic DMR-BWT735EB Smart Blu-ray Disc Recorder with 1TB HDD and Twin Freeview+ HD Tuners (New for 2013): Amazon.co.uk: TV
but upon opening the box, I noted that the SCART socket on the 735 states that it is AV in with only the HDMI supporting AV out. I have an older TV with no HDMI sockets so did check that there was at least one SCART socket. However, I did not realise that they could be either AV in or AV out and went ahead and made the purchase.
I suppose what I'm asking is can I connect the 735 to my TV via SCART because if I can't, I'm screwed? I know you can get HDMI > SCART converters but they seem to be around £50 which I'd rather avoid spending. Either that or a new TV.
