I need some servious help with my DVD and LCD TV connector as i have not been able to find the right solution :-).
I live in India and I purchased sony dvdz100 DVD player from UK and have been using it with my old TV with RCA scart connector. It was all fine till i purchased a new LCD TV. 3 weeks ago i purchased a 37 Inch LCD TV from JVC (Model no - LT37FX77), now when i connected my DVD player to new tv with RCA cable the video quality is not good. Some one suggested to buy a scart to RGB connector to connect my TV to DVD player.
I really dont know if this will work or not, if yes which cable should i buy. I tried searching for a cable in delhi but noone sells because SCART is not very famous in India.
Is there a possibility that i can purchase from your website and then you can courier it to my Indian address?
else
I know some basics of souldering and wiring, can i make one of my own?
Thanks a lot for responding to my question, Unfortunately i only have one SCART slot in my DVD player. http://pdf.crse.com/manuals/2590881111.pdf (Page 14)
Answer
If your dvd player has component (red/green/blue video, red/white audio) outputs then all you need to do is get a component cable with those five cables bundled together and connect it to your new tv.
Then be sure to go into your dvd player's set up menu and set it for wide screen, and any other settings you want to adjust. DVD players need different setting for HD tvs than your old SD tv.
Check the link, I think they ship internationally.

Questions about my tv and buying a dvd player?
sls.spec
I have a new big-screen HDTV that is capable of 1080p, on the way. Sony Bravia KDL-40V4100. My family is old-fashioned and way behind the times in technology. All that we have is a 4-head vcr and a ton of VHS movies. I got a huge discount on this tv through my employer (by the vendor), so I went ahead and got a flat screen 40" tv. It was $600 bucks after taxes. They probably never will get HDTV (at least not right now), but I wanted that option there if they ever do.
I'm planning on buying a combination 4-head vcr/dvd player. I figure that maybe I should just get a combo vcr/dvd burner while I'm at it (it's not much more in price). For one reason...just to save some space later on, I figured that we might want to record from VHS to DVD and ditch the clunky VHS tapes - while keeping the movies. I know that the quality from VHS will still be VHS - even if dubbed onto a DVD, of course. But I have a couple of questions: Can all DVD burners record onto a dvd directly from the tv? I know that many record from VHS to DVD and vice versa, but I've only seen one so far that said you could record directly to DVD from the tv.
Keep in mind that my family doesn't even have cable - they use regular tv reception with rabbit ears. I just wanted to get them a thinner tv that was larger and easier to see. A blu-ray player is definitely not something we'll be getting. So what is my best bet for a dvd player? Will 1080p 'upconversion' dvd players look better on this tv than the typical 480p or whatever it is that regular dvd players play? Or would getting an upconverting dvd player (to 1080p) be a waste of money?
Secondly...what exactly is 'upconverting'? Is it beneficial to have? I'm confused as to how one can see a "1080p" (or 1080i) picture from like a 480 (or whatever it is) picture quality from a regular dvd?
Answer
Upconverting dvd players just take the 480 and do a fill in the lines thing so when the picture is displayed on an HD tv it looks a little better. Any dvd player, when hooked into your new tv will be upconverted by the tv, as all HD tvs upconvert any signal received to their native resolution, in your case 1080p. Some regular dvds, newer ones, look pretty good if your dvd player has component (red/green/blue) cable output, if not, nothing will look good carried over analog cables. So you could get a new dvd player with component output if you don't already have one, but you don't need the upconverting ones as your tv will do that anyway.
Your VCR will look bad. Don't copy to dvds as it's a losing effort.
And when you get your tv, if you are close enuf to transmission towers, run a scan for available digital channels, you will come up with quite a few HD stations without cable. Check the owner's manual for the procedure, but many antenna people get some nice HD that way, for free. Someone else said you'd need a converter box, that is not right, you're getting a digital tv which should continue working without a box in Feb, and there should also be more free HD coming your way. (So maybe you guys may want to get a better antenna as you'll have better reception with a more powerful outdoor? antenna, or even an indoor antenna with power boost.)
