Out of the digital box/ in to the vcr.
Out of the vcr/ in to the tv.
Out of the dvd player/ in to the tv.
If you want to record dvd movies to the vcr, then
Out of the dvd/ in to the vcr.
If you don't have enough ports, you can buy some Y jacks( 1 in, 2 out) |

We use coaxial and RCA jacks in the USA. I would try the Scart from the box to the vcr and from the vcr to the tv. Use 3 set cables from the dvd player to the tv and from the dvd to vcr (ours are red white and yellow). Good luck |

By the way, I have a tv, stereo, vcr, vcr/dvd player, wireless headset, and game box all hooked up together. I needed some y cables. Thankly most of the wires are inside a cabinet. If your tv doesn't have great sound, then you may want to hook up a stereo next. |
