I am new to home cinema and have built up my system over the past four months, my system comprises of:

tosheba 29" tv (2 scarts)
pioneer dv444 (1 scart)
marantz sr6200
sky
tosheba nicam vcr
bose AM15

My question is how do i connect all these devices so that i can run the sound through the amp, currently i can run all through the amp except the tv which has no audio phono output and have tried two ways but allways run out of scarts. Any help would be great.

BM, the "trick" is to use the TV as a monitor (picture only, not sound), and use the VCR (or cable box, or satellite receiver) as the tuner, so you can use that source's audio output as your TV sound source.

Your receiver will do all of the audio/video switching now, and you will hear whatever you are seeing.

It's a British (European) thing.
