I understand that Spanish TV is a PAL system, but not compatible with UK PAL. As the SCART sockets bypass the tuner, can you connect a British VCR or DVD player to a Spanish set and use it? (not to record, just to play)
Yes, we use one, both to record from the TV and to play DVDs and videos. Modern UK TVs WILL work here in Spain.
