I've asked around on how to convert the SCART from the VM box to a monitor and I'm confident I can sort out getting the audio played. However I don't know if the current VM boxes have RCA audio outputs or not. Our VM box doesn't but then it is about 8 years old. If a new VM box would have RCA audio output then I can either connect the VM box RCAs to the PC soundcard inline socket and use speakers or headphones off the PC OR connect the VM box RCAs direct to some speakers or headphones.

So if anyone with a VM box could tell me if it has some audio RCA outputs I'd be most grateful.

The last box I had from Virgin had no RCA output, I had to use a scart splitter to output to an audio amp.

The box has been delivered. Currently hooked up to a spare TV. No RCA on the back so I'll probably be getting that Cable Universe SCART to RCA/S-Video. Will that work OK for me? It won't be unidirectional in the wrong direction will it?

It most certainly will. Don't get that one.

[MarcLister]

It most certainly will what? Be unidirectional in the wrong way?

Would either of the below be OK for me then?

With the necessary S-VHS and Phono/RCA cables to go from the adapter to the monitor/speakers of course.

The cables being http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...VHS-Cable.html and either http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...12-metres.html or http://www.cableuniverse.co.uk/catal...-10-metre.html.
