I have just bought a new panasonic tv & dvd home cinema. The problem is trying to connect my PS2. The TV has only 2 SCART sockets and they are taken up by the DVD and Sky digital. I have tried using AV3 which is on the front of the TV but this would mean continually hooking the PS2 up and I want something a bit more permanent. I have also tried going through the extra SCART socket on the video but the quality of the picture is pretty poor. The current lead that I am using is the one that came as standard with the PS2. Can anybody help me??? and would I have to get a new lead??

All assistance is appreciated.

Thanks

John

Simple solution, sounds reasonable, I hate havig to change the cables around the back of the tv every time you want something new on, switches are a great invention.
Sad thing for me is, my tv hasn't got a scart socket, but then I havn't got sky digital a PS2 or a dvd player in my room, so i'm ok. I hope that helps :)
