Hi - I have an AVANT RF VCR and the two scart sockets are used for DVD1 and SKY - if I get the iPod System dock so I need an AV2 expander or will it simply not work. I can disable the internal VCR and use that socket if not. Has anyone any experience of using the dock with an Avant?

Hi,

the VCR socket only works with the internal VCR, not with other sources.

Use the camera socket on top of your Avant.

On my Avant there is a jack to phone lead connected to the camera connection. Which I use for my MP3 playback, it works perfectly!.

Thanks for the replies - I had thought about using teh camera socket but the system dock looks like it connects via scart and presumably this works all around the house?

I have been able to disable the internal video and use the socket in the past by going into the engineer menu and selecting the variant as being without a VCR, but this reassigns the sockets and means that I cant use RGB for Sky

If the system dock has a scart socket, you can use an adapter for connection to the camera socket. But the camera socket can only be used at the avant, not in link rooms via masterlink.

I had also disabled the VCR in the service menue, but there is no way to use the VCR scart socket for other sources.
