Default DVD Hook up

I've asked this before but my hard drive packed in with no backup!
I have my TV hooked up with AV1 and AV2 to TV and Video also the Sat
receiver.How do I hook up a DVD player with no spare Scart sockets?
Both those on the TV and Video are in use.I was going to wait and buy
a DVD recorder instead of the Video but I had a DVD player arrive free
with a Golf order.
Need some help here as I'm long retired and my wife wants to watch
some bought films.Thanks for any help.

Harry:
You can purchase an inexpensive A/V switch/router from Radio Shack or
WalMart. You can get them with capability for switching 2 inputs, 3
inputs, 4, etc... into your television A/V input

i suggest connecting the dvd player direct to the TV scart input
currently used for the vcr, then connect the vcr to tv using the 75ohm
co-ax lead. tune the tv into the vcr 's UHF output (channel UHF 36
usually). You probably wont see much difference /loss in quality, and
you'll have avoided the need for messy interconnects and switch boxes.

I suggest you connect one satellite decoder output scart to the tv
(ie.e leave as it is) and one to the vcr, to be able to record from
satellite.

hope this helps, Ben

Somewhere I believe I still have an old German plaque which stated your
signature line. It was "Ve get too soon Oldt undt too late schmardt"
Got it from an old German Club.... And it speaks the idea very well. Truer
words couldn't have been spoken.
