The FAQ covers this but basically:

TV scart 1 - Digibox TV scart
Digibox VCR scart - VCR scart 1
DVD scart - TV scart 2

You will lose RGB on the DVD. A scart splitter is useless. You need a
good RGB compatible scart switch and with one you should do as above,
but also:

Digibox TV scart - scart switch input 1
DVD - scart switch input 2
Scart switch output 1 - TV scart 1
which will give RGB on both sources.

See the FAQ for digibox settings.

If you mean cables then yes, though I see no point spending more than
£5 per cable.

Only the truth as I see it.
No monies return'd. ;-)

The answer to your scart question is well covered but the answer to good
cables is another issue. If you have good quality equipment and want the
best picture possible then a good cable is essential. You donot have to
spend more than £20 or £30. IXOS would cost about £30 but a quality cable
around £20 would be adequate. Put it this way if you had n expensive BMW
car would you put cheap oil in it, I think not, why when spending 4 figures
on a system connect it up with £5 cables. A rule of thumb is spend about
10% of the system costs on cables believe me it will show a difference
especially if you have the opportunity to view side by side, you can notice
it. But if you would prefer connect up your £1000 pound worth of kit with a
few £5 cables, you know that doesn't make sense.
