Page 1 of Scart Splitter Advice Please

Hello Everyone,

I have a Panasonic tv with 3 scart sockets but what with Sky, Dvd and Consoles i`ve run out!!! Can anyone recomend a Scart Splitter (if that`s what they`re called) so I can avoid swapping cables when I need to use my consoles etc. One more question, does the quality suffer at all?

Any help appreciated.

If you go for just a basic Scart splitter then, yes, quality will suffer.

Best would be to have your primary sources hooked up direct into the TV then buy a switchable scart expansion unit to hook up to the third scart socket. The switch will ensure that any quality loss is kept to an absolute minimum. The only downside is that you will have to manually switch sources hooked up to the expansion unit. If money`s no object, then there are a few more sophisticated units available from Lektropacks which even have source selection by remote control!!

There`s a very swank looking one that Argos do, which has buttons all over it and which is quite good (supports 3 devices, passes RGB signal). I can`t remember the catalogue code, but it`s the more expensive (and bigger) one of the two they stock. Hope this helps.
