Connection and Freebox Revolution

Hello,

I need some help. We recently received a Freebox Revolution. I would like to know how to connect:
- an old TV that has only one SCART port, and moreover no longer has a remote control to switch to AV mode
- a DVD player with a SCART output
- a VCR with two SCARTs
- a Wii that also outputs with a SCART plug

I imagine I need some SCART switches to connect all this (if possible), but I have no idea what connections need to be made.

Thank you for your help!

    Thank you very much for your response. But in what direction should the connections be made? And the universal remote is for switching the TV to AV mode, I suppose?

    there's no meaning, there's just no choice, so it's impossible to go wrong, and obviously, that's how to switch to AV

    Ah... To this day, I have a scart switch, which has a TV monitor input, and three scart channels A, B, and C. Since the TV only has one scart output, I can only connect my Freebox to the switch (TV monitor input?) and then connect all the other scart outputs from the switch to the TV, the DVD player, and the Wii (plus the VCR, but it has two scart outputs)?
    Sorry for these questions that may seem silly to you, but I'm not very skilled ^^

    On the scope, it's black, the good one, and on the switch, there should normally be only inputs and one output to connect to the TV.

    Good evening. As promised, I'm giving you an update. The connections are made, I had a universal remote that I reprogrammed since it wasn't working anymore.
    Everything is working now, except for the DVD player, which, when I turn it on, does switch the signal to the TV, but the screen remains black, with no image or sound. Do you think this could be due to the connection (faulty SCART) or the Freebox itself?
    Thank you for everything, docsteph.

    When a device is powered on (DVD player), the others must be turned off.
