Connecting DVD, VCR & Foxtel to mono TV
I'm trying to connect the TV in our bedroom with the VCR, DVD player and Foxtel (analog)
The VCR is a Panasonic NV-HD675 and has the following connectors at the back:
a pair of yellow sockets labelled Video in and Video out
a pair of white sockets labelled audio in Left and audio out left
a pair of red sockets labelled audio in right and audio out right
plus sockets labelled RF-IN and RF-OUT (coax plugs?)
The DVD player is a Panasonic DVD-RV32 and has the following connectors at the back:
a group labelled "audio out" comprising three sockets; White = LEFT, red = RIGHT plus a socket for a sub-woofer
a group labelled "component video out" comprising three sockets labelled Pb, Y and Pr
A yellow socket labelled Video out
S Video connection
The TV is also Panasonic, model TC51 M75A. It has a very limited number of connections:
a pair of white socket labelled Audio in and Audio out
a pair of yellow sockets labelled Video in and Video out
RC connection.
There is a single connection coming from the Foxtel box with an RC plug
What I want to do is to connect it all up so that I can use either the DVD, VCR or Foxtel through a mono TV.
I would rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy.

Time to buy a new telly I reckon.
Sorry, I don't have an answer for you.
Iain will probably have the answer.

I don't think you can do all of them . You are limited by the fact that the TV only has 2 input options.
This might help.

Then connect the Audio and Video out from the DVD to the Audio and Video In on the TV bearing in mind that you will only get Mono.
You will then have to tune a channel on the tv to receive the foxtel as well as tune the channels to receive the free to air channels.
Hope that helps let me know.

Barry,
Thanks for the advice. We don't have the free to air connection, it all comes via Foxtel. To complicate matters we can't find the power lead for the vcr so that's been parked temporarily.
One suggestion is to connect the Foxtel output to the VCR and then connect the VCR to the TV, I assume if I do that I'll need to change channels on the TV to switch between Foxtel and the VCR itself.
The next step is to connect the DVD player to the AV connections on the TV and then to watch a DVD we switch to AV on the telly. The minor downside here is that I can only connect one audio channel - Left or Right. I have been told that I can buy a 2 to 1 adaptor that will let me combine the signals from the left and right channels.
I think I'll have a browse around DSE tomorrow and see how it all works out.
Thanks again for taking the time help

I would think you should be able to receive the VCR signal and the Foxtel signal on the same channel because the signal from the VCR would override the Foxtel signal when you put a video in the VCR to play>>

Back on topic, you can buy a remote controlled 3 or 4 rca switch unit for about $80.00, somewhere like Jaycar or one of their agents.
Just connect all your components to the in side and a lead to the out for the TV, probably the easiest way.
Most TV's now come with at least three inputs and I have seen up to 8, even the little ones have 3 and a game connector at the front.
The power cable for the VCR should be easy to obtain from any aplliance repair place, there are only two or three configurations on the plug for the unit as a rule.Stupidity kills. Absolute stupidity kills absolutely.
