Hello I have a new portable dvd player+ screen. The dvd player has an AV in jack. Also supplied is an audio video cable (single connector on one end and yellow+red+white connector on the other). According to the instructions I can connect a game system/video equipment to the dvd player. I was wondering if I was able to connect a freeview box to the dvd player turning it into a televison. If so what king of lead would I need as my freeview box uses a scart lead.

thanks for any advice

Hi

You can buy a Scart to Phono converter block (about the size of a matchbox).

Maplins have them here then just plug in the supplied lead.

Hi

I've just noticed the price at Maplins, you should be able to get it a lot cheaper, I think I saw them in Adsa in a kit for about a fiver.

Cheers

Yes it has both an AV in and a AV out socket. I have obtained a scart to phono adapter. The dvd player came with a audio/video cable that plugs into the AV in jack and on the other end has a yellow/white/red female connectors. So I have figured that I need a cable that has a red/white/yellow male connectors at both ends. Then I can plug one end into the supplied audio/video cable (goes into the dvd player) and the other end into the scart/phono adapter (plugs into the freeview scart connector). Then hopefully I can watch television through this set up once I buy a digital ariel. Does this sound right?

thanks

chris

Are you sure it's not an A/V out on the dvd? It is unusual to have an A/V in on a dvd as there is no real use for it (I assume it's a dvd player not a recorder.)
