Hello, I have a VCR with 2 SCART sockets: one to connect to the TV, the other to a decoder. My new Fransat HD decoder only has one SCART socket to connect to the TV and an HDMI. There is no VCR input on the decoder. How to wire everything to input to the VCR via the HD decoder (recording will probably be in SD) and go back to the TV (the TV has 1 SCART and 3 HDMI). Thank you for your help.

    Hi,

    Recording will not happen since your VCR is analog and HD is digital.

    You need a home DVD recorder to record HD programs.

    You can also use an external hard drive if your Fransat HD decoder can record to such a medium.

    It’s indeed a DVD burner (which also functions as a VCR) and I had been connecting it up until now to the SD decoder’s VCR input. I want to be able to record on DVD.

      OK, that's what I did. I do receive HD TV, no problem, but when I put the DVD in and play it, the TV doesn't switch. Before, the TV automatically switched to AV1 and it was fine. Maybe a TV setting to make the HDMI port switch to AV1 like the SCART input did?

      Have you tried switching to HDMI because AV is for SCART/Peritel.

      plus the RCA and Coaxial/Optical

      The decoder; 1 SCART labeled TV and 1 HDMI plus the RCA and Coax S/PDIF

      Yes, I connected the decoder to the TV via HDMI 2 and properly selected HDMI 2 on the TV
      I connected the decoder and the DVD via SCART, but is the SCART on the decoder input/output? If it's only output to the TV, it's dead.
