Help....Setup problems!

I have a simple collection of units which I`m sure is very common - TV, VCR, DVD and Sky receiver. My question is this...what is the best connection setup that means that Sky is `on` as soon as the TV is turned on (rather than having to press 10 different buttons to get it), and allows me to video terrestial and Sky, and allows me to watch DVDs through the one Scart socket in my TV that has RGB (the other is composite). At the moment I have to switch the Scarts around to allow me to watch DVDs or Sky in RGB.

I`d be interested to know how other users have there basic systems (like mine above) set up to optimise performance.

Cheers!

RE: What is the best sub £200 multi region player??

I`ve just bought the Aiwa 370 and can thoroughly recommend it. The picture and sound quality is v.good, and will happily play vcd and cdr/rw.
It is also available is black or silver depending on the rest of your equipment.

Got mine from Comet for £199 including 3 DVDs (Perfect Storm, Friends, and Gossip).

Aiwa 370 - Best connection to TV

Today I have finally joined the digital age and bought an Aiwa 370 from Comet. I wasn`t aware that it wouldn`t come with a cable to connect to the TV. The salesman was obviously prepared for this and promptly flogged me a connector which he seemed to think would provide the best quality picture and sound. The cable has a scart connector at one end (into the TV) and three connectors on the other (into the Aiwa), all are gold coated, this cost £19.99.

Will this cable provide a better result than a cable with two scart connectors. I may at a later date connect the DVD to my stereo, or buy an amp and speakers, will this effect what connection I should use to the TV.

Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
