scart shenanigins... and multi remotes.

["seniorsimon" <simon.ryley@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Hope this hasn't been answered before, but I've looked in the archive
and I can't find it.

I'm trying to sort out my AV setup so I can run the sound through the
aux input of the hi-fi.

I have
TV - 1 Scart socket
Video - 1 Scart socket
DVD - 1 Scart socket
PS1 - 1 Scart socket
Freeview (not here yet but on the way)
Hi-fi - Phono sockets for L and R audio.
I also have 4 to 1 Scart multi adapter and scart to phono converter
lead, scart plug with six connectors on the back, three in and three
out, yellow red and white.

Can I connect this up in some way so that the sound from all devices
always goes to the hi-fi?  Or do I need extra kit to do a better job?

Finally, what do people use as a low(ish) cost universal remote that
isn't just limited to the standard tv, video, satellite options but
is user programmable to emulate any command from any device.  Once
all this is working, including the freeview, I'd like to have one
remote for the lot.  The Pronto stuff is nice, but a bit above my
budget...

Cheers,

Simon
