Tricky-Ricky Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 If you just want to play a DVD via the TV and the TV has a scart socket, then yes thats all you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 30, 2010 Author Share Posted December 30, 2010 ok but its to far away from the box , as the tv is on the wall , could iget say another HDMI lead and plug that in to the tv and into the dvd player , then just link the the two boxes with a scart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter richards Posted December 31, 2010 Author Share Posted December 31, 2010 yes it is a recorder, thought scart was inferior to hdmi , plus i didnt want a thick unsightly cable going up the wall. so just to confirm if i get another HDMI lead and go from the recorder to the TV then bobs my aunties uncle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
