Having spent four hours n the past couple of days trying to hook up a dvd recorder have come to the conclusion I'm a dunce.
Want to connect my dvd recorder (Sony HX750) to my sky digital and a SD Sony television. Also want to use my Sony all-in-one home theatre to get sound from all speakers. Any advice would be much appreciated.
Connections are as follows:

SKY
Scart tv
Scart video
RCA
Aerial

DVD RECORDER
Aerial in
Aerial out
Line 1 in: RCA, s-video
Line out: RCA, component video out
HDMI out
Digital out, coaxial

ALL-IN-ONE
HDMI out
TV/VCR1: digital in (coaxial), RCA in, component video in
TV/VCR2: RCA in
Component video out
Monitor out: Video (looks like a yellow RCA plug), S-video (DVD only)
Dir-T1

TELEVISION
RCA
Component video with red and white RCA sockets
RCA
Aerial

You may find more answers if you look on home theatre or sky foums.

739477 2009-01-16 22:25:00 Yes, did read the instructions.
Will post elsewhere - did wonder about posting here but there were several similar threads so thought I'd chance it.

Cheers,

I'm not familiar with a Sony SD Television. Is it a CRTand what model is it. I have a Sony Bravia KLV-40V300A LCD TV. If I can't help you I'm sure some of the others well.

Yes, it's a Sony 29" CRT television, model number is KV-SZ292M31.

Thanks,

Blair

739482 2009-01-17 19:55:00 Page 26 of the DVD recorder manual shows you how to connect up a satellite TV tuner. Just another thing it might be time to upgrade your TV as you are limited to what you can connect up to it.

I have managed to get the TV working with sky and the all-in-one box which I want to use for surround sound - it's the dvd recorder which is confusing me.
As for the TV, you're right - will have to wait a few weeks though, because I have pay the tax department a decent chunk of money first:groan:
