Hello,
I want to connect a VCR to the LG50um7450 TV. I just bought a male SCART cable and 3 male RCA cables, but unfortunately, the SCART cable coming from the VCR is also male.
I'm feeling disheartened; I've asked several people, but I have to figure this out on my own, even though the seller of the cable was very nice.
I already tried using the HDMI, but the width didn’t fit either!
Should I return and buy another 3 RCA and female SCART cable (if it exists!) and be sure that it will work?
This is the first time I'm posting on a forum; I don't know how this will go if there are responses.
Thank you in advance.
Claude

    Good evening Claude,

    , I just bought a male SCART cable and 3 male RCA cables
    One end SCART male and RCA yellow, white, and red is fine

    "the SCART cable coming from the VHS is male too"
    I don't understand you here because the SCART output on the VHS is necessarily female
    If you have a male SCART <-> male SCART cable, you need to unplug it and instead plug in the cable you bought

      yes, you are right but actually the DVD and the VCR are connected together and the cable coming out is male!!
      I’ll take a closer look at the connections tomorrow (in a cabinet!!) ; sorry but I need to go prepare dinner for my husband who is right in front of the TV!!!
      Thanks everyone, maybe I’ll have clearer ideas!!! my previous connections weren’t a problem because the previous TVs had a SCART connector!!!
