Er, *only* for those with DVD recorders (or other devices) which can
record RGB from external devices.

Not forgetting that some DVD recorders support the autoview/autorecord
digibox function that only works via the digibox "VCR" socket.

So Paul Heslop's suggestions in this thread are
perfectly valid, in particular for those with DVD recorders which can record
RGB from external devices.

Only to a limited extent.

One suggestion was to connect the devices as follows:

Digibox "TV" scart = Recorder "AV2" scart
Recorder "AV1" scart = TV scart 1

and this would be correct in *some* cases with a device that can
record RGB (which wasn't the subject of this thread). In other cases
this would not be correct, even with devices that can record RGB.

Another technique is to use three scart leads to connect the three
devices (TV, digibox, VCR/DVDR) in a circular fashion and this is just
plain wrong. A common mistake, but wrong none the less.
