Comment on It’s 2025, and Escape From New York has just got a new VHS release
Patch@feddit.uk 2 weeks agoSCART was standard here in the UK. But most VHS players also had RCA composite cables. I don’t recall any of my VCRs/DVD players ever having coax, though; that presumably wasn’t that common a standard here.

When VCR’s first appeared, they were connected via the UHF connection. So you had to tune your TV to the VCR channel to watch anything.
I don’t remember any other connections until SCART came along. I was reading the Wiki and didn’t realise it was invented in France back in 1976. Essentially, SCART was the best connection you could have as it used RGB if available.
