Picture Quality (Philips 32PF5520D LCD TV / DVDR610 / Sky+)

I have the above equipment connected using high-quality 21-pin scart leads as follows:

TV (EXT 1) to DVDR (EXT 1)
DVDR (EXT 2) to Sky+ (VCR Scart)

Can anyone tell me why when watching Sky there is a noticable drop in picture quality when the DVDR is switched on (tuned to EXT 2) compared to when it is in standby? This is obviously affecting the quality of recording Sky programmes onto DVD (why I bought the equipment in the first place). Sky is set to output in RGB and the DVD is set to Automatic in the picture settings, if that matters.

Cheers.

Sussed it - the connection to the DVDR should be via the TV scart, not the VCR scart on the the Sky+ box (which doesn`t output in RGB).

Job done.
