I'm helping a friend connect a system together.
She only has two sources, a HDD recorder/ DVD player and a Sky box.
The AV reciever is a Harmon Kardon (£350).
It has two component inputs and three S-VHS inputs.
The TV is a Panasonic 37" plasma. This has HDMI, component and three scart inputs.
The ideal is that it's as simple to operate as possible.ie: when she chooses a source, on the Amp both audio and visuals switch simultaneuosly.
At the moment she has everything connected directly into the Plasma.
This means she has to press loads of buttons when changing sources.
The Sky picture isn't great (it's in a Flat) and has RGB scart outputs X2.
I've tried hooking the DVD player via component into the Amp, and then component to the Plasma.
And then the Sky box via Scart to S-VHS to the Amp, with RCA phonos for the audio.
The DVD seemed to work OK but not the Sky Box. ( but audio did)
I've a feeling the Scart to S-VHS isn't fully wired, so it only works one way.
Has anyone got any better ideas?
