You probably have a few options;

1. into the back of your DVD recorder. So the signal goes from Wii -> DVD recorder -> TV. This only works if the device has a SCART in.

2. Buy a SCART controller block. It accepts multiple SCART connections. Some models automatically select the active device. Others have a remote control.

Other possible option would be to see if your TV has the two or three slots for Video, left sound and right sound.These can be used with the three pins you see connected to the SCART block for the Wii.Other than that a multi SCART adapter is your best option.

my tv doesnt have a scart,it has 3 slots for the red/white/yellow cables,does this mean i cant play my wii on it?

Carpenter

@cedomination
No it just means you won't be able to play it using the SCART connection.
Just take the three pins out of the SCART connection block that comes with the Wii and stick them in those slots.

no it doesn't. The wii doesnt come with a cart cable anyway, it comes with a composite cable, and scart adaptor.

Simple.

Your Sky box has two scarts.

The second scart not only is an output, but also an input and is RGB

Plug your wii into it, with the RGB scart lead and when you power on your wii, it will overide the sky signal going to the tv and your wii will be outputted on the screen in full RGB.

OMG you actually have saved my life THANK YOU. I bought a scart block a gold belkin one but its dulls the picture when you've more than one scart plugged in which makes it useless. The only thing I'm finding with the sky solution is the Wii has to be plugged out to view sky. I'm using the Wii RGB scart. This happening to anyone else?

It's weird that your scart block dulls the picture with more than one plugged in... Try finding one with physical switches on it so that there can't be any effect

the corpo

nintendo consoles always seem to have that effect on scart blocks
was just experimenting with it the other day
can have any combination of xbox/ps2/ntl in a scart block, any time either my cube or wii is attached if affects everything else, quite drastically

Ya I do on both accounts its ok when wii connect 24 is turn off on standby aka the red right comes on so the wii actually turns off as opposed to the orange light. It seems the wii doesnt turn off the power to the scart when it turns into standby.

damn thats a pain, hopefully they can sort that out with a software update, to deactivate the scart output when its on standby.

There is a few silly issues with the wii that need sorting out ASAP.
