How do you set up PC to lcd tv?
Depends on the sockets available on the computer and TV. Some modern TV's have a 15 pin PC monitor plug, which can be used with a connecting cable (15 pin male to male) to the monitor output of your laptop or desk PC. You will have to select the AV input on the TV and also the monitor output of your computer. On a laptop this may involve selecting the output from the built in screen, to the output, using the Function (Fn) key and one of the F keys. eg. Fn+F5. Other TV's may have SCART sockets for the AV in. You may need a separate converter box from USB to SCART or Monitor to scart. Some modern PC's may have an HDMI socket, which is used on most LCD TV's.
How do you connect a freeview box with a scart output to a HD multimedia monitor monitor that has a HDmi and a vga port?
There is no way to connect these two without spending around £60 on an adapter. It would be cheaper to buy a Freeview HD box, then connect this to the screen with HDMI.
Can you have two freeview boxes on the same TV?
Yes, if you have 2 scart sockets to plug them into but it would be pointless as you only need one.
Does a TV need a scart connection to use a Freeview set top box?
A Freeview set top box is a digital television receiver for use in the UK and delivers analogue signals at the output, for use with analogue televisions. All Freview receivers have video and audio outputs and normally these are found on a scart connector, the European multi-pin AV interface. If a television has no scart connector, it may be possible to use separate video and audio connectors, normally phono or RCA sockets. If the television doesn't have any kind of video input, then the only option is to use the RF connection. Not all Freview units have an RF output. If the Freeview signal must be taken into the television, then the receiver must have the output signal encoded to RF. Note that some Freeview receivers have an RF output but only to loop through the antenna signal and do not deliver the digital programme to the RF output. To be sure that it will work, you must ask the question "does the output of this receiver feed the RF output?" Remember that many salesmen will not know the answer to this, may say yes to get the sale and you get a unit that doesn't work. If that happens, you are fully entitled to return the unit and get a FULL refund as long as you asked the question before you bought it. (The Sale of Good Acts make complete provision for this). This isn't meant to be an attack on salesmen by the way but I have a big problem with poorly trained sales staff gicing out incorrect information!

What is the output voltage of digital receivers?
The output voltage of a digital receiver will vary depending on the design and manufacture of the particular receiver, and the output system used. It is normally quite low, typically between 1 and 5 volts, ranging up to 12 for some SCART connections.
What does SCART means?
The term SCART refers to the video/audio television connector.
Where could one get a scart connector?
Shops that sell housewares or electrical equipment usually sell scart connectors. Some supermarkets sell scart connectors as well. Scart connectors can be bought online in websites such as Amazon or Ebay.
Do you get visual through a scart lead?
A scart connector is a European standard for video, audio and control communication between domestic television equipment. It is used only for standard definition video but supports composite, S-video and component signal formats. It also carries stereo audio and a limited number of control lines. The connection is often bi-directional to allow an output of a television to be routed to a video recorder as well as from the recorder to the television. The scart connection is being replaced by HDMI in new equipment so the days of the 21 pin scart connector are numbered. The signals are compatible with those on phono (RCA) connectors so equipment that does not have a scart connector can still be linked using a scart to phono break out lead.
My DVD player is Alba ive lost my scart lead for the back do i lead to buy a new DVD player?
Absolutely not. If the DVD player has a scart connector, then simply obtain another cable and you're back in business. If the player has phone connectors (RCA jacks) then you will need a phono to scart lead. Pick one up at the local electronics retailer or supermarket. For readers outside Europe, a scart connector is a 21 pin connector that carries analog video, audio and control lines between DVD players, set top boxes etc to a television. The cables are bi-directional, so the television can also output it's display picture and deliver it to a VCR for recording. The idea of the cable is great. The connector itself is one of the least robust connectors in the video industry. The large diameter cables are quite capable of ripping the connector out of its socket and loss of signal was far more common than it should have been. HDMI is now replacing the scart connector in most new equipment.
Is a scart lead needed if using a HDMI lead?
No need. HDMI is another plug and has nothing to do with SCART.
Is hdmi the same as skart?
HDMI is not the same as SCART. HDMI is digital interface while SCART is analogue.
