Thanks for the interest. You've got me thinking about the connections to the DVD and PVR machines. I wonder if the notorious SCART pin 8 might provide a clue. So far I'm just using the yellow RCA to the same on the projector. I've used a SCART to RCA adaptor at the machines and but I don't think that interferes with pin 8 in any way.
The projector photo doesn't really show much. Apart from loop-through VGAs there's just the 3 RCAs.

Hmm - just seen on Wiki that pin 8 is a signal from the source so I guess it wouldn't like being forced one way or another.
