Sony Bravia 32EX724

I have just bought a Sony Bravia EX724 which I want to connect to my Sony DVD recorder RDRDC100 and Sky+HD box but cannot find a connection diagram. I would very much appreciate some help please.

The Sky box only has one HDMI socket as has the dvd recorder.

Thanks

Hi Marsid21 and welcome.

Have a look at your iManual here: -

Have a look at 'Connecting Other Equipment'.

You can also look at the Connectivity Diagrams here: -

My guess is that you need 2 HDMI cables. Connect the Sky Box to HDMI 1 on the TV, and the DVD Player to HDMI 2.

Thanks for reply Blencogo. However I don't think I made myself clear. I need to connect recorder to Sky Box in order to record from Sky hard drive to recorder in order to put on to DVD disc. I have tried various ways but no luck. The connection diagrams on sony support site do not even mention a Sky box or decoder !!

Thanks again.

Hi Marsid21.

Which Sky Box do you have? Does it have a SCART output? I would guess it does.

You will need 3 cables: -

1. SCART cable from Sky Box to DVD Recorder (to copy from Sky Hard Drive to DVD)

2. HDMI cable from Sky Box to Bravia (to watch Sky on the Bravia in the best quality)

3. HDMI cable from DVD Recorder to Bravia (to play DVDs in highest quality)

This is the closest diagram I can find (click on it to enlarge): -

The second SCART from DVD Recorder to TV is optional.

Hope this helps
