cable tv connections

[flissy]

I have just moved house. I have a virgin digi box, not v+, a
Sony Bravia tv and a Sony hd recorder and I cant find my instuction manuals for connecting it all together. can someone help me put it all together so as I can start recording again many thanks

I guess saying the same way as they were before you disconnected them isn't going to help you is it?

Look here

They don't list a HD recorder, just select a DVD recorder in it's place, they connect in the same way.

When you get them all connected up and working properly draw a diagram showing what connected into where.

If you do this and you have to disconnect for any reason you will be able to re-connect everything straight away.

Have you considered searching manufacturers web sites for pdf versions of manuals?

No need to draw a diagram, take a few photos.

If you draw a diagram you 'learn' what cable went in where.

You could also label ends of cables with what it does so that should you have to disconnect you know where to replace it. Handy for if you move again and you have a box full of cables and can't remember 'what does what' and from 'where to where'.

Connect your Scart leads as follows:
From Virgin Digi-box AV out into AV2 on back of your HD Recorder. Another Scart lead from AV1 on HD Recorder to AV on your TV.
Co-Axial Lead (Aerial) into virgin Box RF In. RF Out of Virgin Box to RF In on Recorder then RF Out of Recorder Box to RF in on TV.
