I am based in the UK, and am trying to set up a variety of TV stuff which my elderly parents have acquired. It comprises:
Panasonic TX-28DTM1 CRT Digital TV with internal Freeview receiver (2 Scart sockets) Panasonic NV-HV61EB/EBL VCR (2 Scart sockets) Panasonic DMR-ES10EB/EBL DVD Recorder (2 Scart sockets) Sony Freeview box (2 Scart sockets) 4-part Scart splitter 4 way aerial splitter The basic set-up I have done is: 1) aerial in to DVDR, then out to VCR, then out to TV; 2) Scart TV AV1 to DVDR AV1; 3) Scart TV AV2 to VCR AV1.
4) not using the Scart splitter or the aerial splitter.I have not fully tested this yet, but it appears that the DVDR will only record from analogue channels, not the Freeview digital channels, as it should do, so obviously I have not set this up correctly.It does occur to me that it should be possible to modify this set-up to also: a) use the spare Freeview box to allow digital Freeview channels to be watched, while recording on VCR or DVDR other digital Freeview channels; b) record from the VCR to the DVDR.
How do I correct my existing set-up to record from the Freeview digital channels, and how can I amend it to do the other tasks at (a) and (b)?
