IIRC SCART is uni-directional, as a result you are going to end up with a nice big loop or you may have to revert to coax for some of the pass back and even put in splitters.

What kind of DVD's are you wanting to copy? I tried it a while ago but the copy protection prevented me doing it.

you need a standalone amp. a DD or DTS can be used as your switcher. scart boxes are ok but you find that you run out of sockets fairly soon. anyone with a good home cinema setup uses an amp to switch. I have this lot all switch thru my sony 940 DTS amp.

tis a sony 940. 110 watts per channel. hooked up to B+W's all round. loud DTS soundtracks necessitate the need for a structural engineer afterwards.
it is a good setup but it has changed in that i no longer have a video recorder. i bought a liteon 5007 dvd recorder which is fab. It was a bitch to set up and cost me a fortune interconnects but hey ho i now have a really good system.
yep alot there 2 dvb boxes, $ky digi, freeview (modded OnDigital box), Sony amp, 2 dvd players and the old analogue sky box is just used as a positioner for my 1.2m dish. too many channel not enough time. great for the *ahem "educational" programmes

sorry m8 we seem to have hijacked your thread. my previous advice still hold though. get a cheap DTS amp. some of the $ky stuff is being broadcast in DD5.1 now and DTS dvds sound so much better
cheers
