RE: How to connect DVD to VCR?

Thanks for the advice. I will look closely at the instruction manual for my TV and see if this is the case.

I will let you know on Tuesday how I get on!

RE: How to connect DVD to VCR?

Indeed, but the video also needs to be connected to the TV, and it`s scart socket would then be full with the input from the DVD. Can one get "through-put" scart leads, so the DVD can go to the TV via the VCR? Or would you advise having a more rudimentary co-ax only connection from the VCR to the TV?

How to connect DVD to VCR?

Tomorrow I will finally be collecting my DVD player. I am getting one which is Macrovision free and thus would like to be able to connect it to my VCR in case I want to "back up" any of my discs. Both the DVD and teh VCR have only one Scart socket (the TV has two)....so how does one go about connecting everything together?

Macrovision disabling?

Is it easy to disable macrovision on most machines? I am specifically thinking of a Phillips 711, as I am considering buying one of these.

If not, would it be worth getting an Ariston DVD2000 (which is macrovision free) instead?

Any advice appreciated....

Phillips 711 or Samsung 511???

I have found both of these for £150 - any advice on which I go for? Are both multi-region?

RE: Which Low-priced Multi-region DVD player?

Well thanks for the advice everyone..... I am going to look around a few shops and so on, and see how these things appear / perform "in the flesh". I will let you know what I decide....

Which Low-priced Multi-region DVD player?

I intend to purchase a multi region DVD player at the end of the month. I was considering the Hiimage DVD 2290, but these are now sold out. The others I had in mind were the Limit JDV300A, Eclipse DVD595, Ariston DVD2000,and LG DVD3200.

Any comment or suggestions? I want to stay under the £150 mark.
