Can't seem to get any picture output from the dvd player. I have tried scart and hdmi connections seperately with the sky box removed and changed all the cables but still no joy

SCART from Sky box to SCART input on Pana. SCART out from Pana to TV to monitor results. The Pana SCARTs should be marked, one for external source such as Sky box, one for TV

if u have warrnty then repace it

Buy 2 hdmi leads and use one to connect sky TV decoder to the hdmi 1 socket on the back of the TV and if your DVd recorder has an hdmi socket attach it to hdmi 2 or leave it on the scart socket
as you don't name your dvd recorder the connections available are unknown
hdmi is the best followed by component which requires a 3 cable lead 3 video (video is red green blue plugs ) audio is red and white which is a 2 wire lead which all are needed to get video and audio to your TV
scart is the lowest quality along with composite video

Multi-AV SCART adaptors with Input/Output signal switch (gold & nickel). A common misconception among game console owners is such connectors will allow RGB quality, while they are only CVBS and S-Videocompliant. THESE CAN BE USED FOR NON HD DEVICES SUCH AS YOUR DVD-VCR, AND SKYTOP BOX YOUR TV WILL HAVE AT LEAST 1 OF THE YELLOW WHITE RED COMPOSITE CONNECTION

If you have a blueray or HD DVD player I would connect using a gold plated HDMI cable from the TV to the DVD, make sure that you buy the correct HDMI version for your TV. If you don't have a HS DVD player recorder then use a HQ SCART as below.

Most SKY+ boxes still have a SCART connection I suggest that you buy a HQ gold plated ribbon connector to connect the SKY to one of your AV (audio visual) channels. The benefit of using SCART is that it will autoselect the AV channel when SKY is taken out of standby.

You will not need to connect using co-axial cables these are pretty much redundant now as you can get all your channels through your SKY dish.

Also if you live in a poor reception area and your TV has freeview built in SKY is your better option.

Hi Martin,

A wiring Schematic is not that you should be looking. What you need is large feeders to understand hot to connect to various ports to give your desired output.

YOU CAN ONLY GET 5.1 FROM THE OPTICAL OUTPUT ON THE SKY BOX NOT THE HDMI
SO CONNECT YOUR SKY BOX OPTICAL TO TV OPTICAL

PLZ LET ME KNOW IF THIS HELPS

a switch box is needed the s video shares the red/white audio with the yellow rca that is being used already
