3 scart leads, 2 scart sockets

[eric twinge]

ok:

Home cinema, sky plus and Nintendo.

Only two scart sockets on the back of the tv set.

How do I wire it all up?

If the home cinema has a scart in, you could pass the nintendo through it or the same with the sky box. Alternatively buy a scart switching box which is what I do to overcome having 5 scart feeds and only 3 scarts on the TV.

Get one of these

I think you'll be able to loop some of them in and out, probably to the home cinema thing

Connect the Nintendo via composite video & rca audio on the side of the telly? Most TVs have those connections (yellow red and white phono) in addition to the scarts on the back.

Either that or are any of the devices HDMI/Component Video equipped, and does the TV have the corresponding connections?

I would but the connections are at the front and looks untidy, the tv is about 8 years old so hasn't got any HDMI.
I'll try one of the adaptors as mentioned above, thanks all!

Scart switch box is your answer, one scart into the TV and the box connects to your devices.

Easiest way

You can spend a bit more and get 'auto switching' versions, but they're not always that reliable.

You dont need to buy anything,
Home cinima to Scart 2 on the TV
Sky to Scart 1 on the TV
Game to VCR Scart on sky box Using the Scart-Phono Adapter it came with.

To use the game turn sky onto standby and manually select Scart 1 using the TV R/C

£40 will get you one of these
