Same prob i also have the same problem my dvd is connected via scart to my tv i have nothing on my tv to connect the system to i have red and white on my dvd and also video so will this system work

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

If the TV has the red, white and yellow sockets on it you can use an adapter. It's a scart plug on one end (for the DVD player) and 3 little round sockets on the other, usually red, white and yellow, sometimes red, black and yellow, like this:Amazon.
Then you need an audio/video lead with red, white and yellow plugs on both ends like this:Amazon

Or one of these:Amazon

You could also use a multi socket scart adapter to add more scarts to your TV:Amazon

if you have a pair of phono connections (red and white) on the rear marked audio out, connect them to the aux in on the surround system and select the aux output on the surround to get the sound from the tv.
failing that connect to scart 2 as this should give audio out via the scart cable and select tv on the suround to get sound.

does your tv have scart sockets?

if so you can buy this adapter that on one side is the scart socket and the other is the yellow red white sockets


something like this

If you select component in on the tv, this should give you a picture,using the current set up. As for audio, depending on the tv, have you used audio in on the tv, or audio out?
It sound obvious but I (even after 5 years+ of installing tv/vcr/dvd) still get caught out with input and out put.
I am unfamiliar with Sansui dvd, if it has a scart connection on the back then yes you can connect to a spare scart on the tv. If it has the single yellow phono for video and the red/white phonos for sound, you can buy a scart to phono lead and use that, not to confuse with the component(blue/green/purple) connections. You cuold also connect the yellow/red/white phono to the same on the tv front/side or rear if available.

Try connecting earphones or headphones to the 3.5mm Headphone socket on the TV and check this works correctly, i.e hear TV when watching TV, hear DVD when watching a DVD etc.
If all is OK, purchase a 3.5mm Jack to L/R Audio/Phono cable. Connect the 3.5mm jack in to the headphone socket on the TV and connect the red/white phone ends to the 5.1 surround system.
It should solve it. SCART out is not always live in all sources so is not a reliable way to connect.

Hi
Look on the rear of the tv and there should be an audio out connection coloured red and white and this will be a phono connection ( 2 small holes one red and one white) using a phono lead connect this to the same connections on the surround system only this time this will be an audio in connection select the tv channel on the surround system and ensure the tv is on and off you go. Try this and see how you go.

The usual way to connect a dvd is via the scart socket as dvd players seldom have an rf output (aerial type output) if you tv does not have a scart there may be phono plugs usually marked red,white,yellow the yellow is video(picture) the other two red/white are audio left and right.

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

Hi.

If you are connecting via scart lead use scart 1 on the rear of tv set & switch off any other devices connected to tv set.

If you are connecting via phono sockets red, white, yellow,
You will need to select the input on the remote see if remote has AV button you will need to depress this buyyon several times as it will go AV1, AV2, AV3, etc.
