Freeview connections to VCR etc.
Lazy question, but I'll chance it ... maybe someone can suggest a
website. I have just bought a digital set-top box (STB) (Panasonic TU-CT30) and I'm receiving properly. Problem: recording onto VHS, and general SCART connections. Each of the VHS machine, the TV, and the STB have two SCART connections. All are Panasonic -- and they seem to be able to talk to one another; but maybe the latter is standard across all brands nowadays? One STB SCART goes to the TV, the other to the VHS. The other VHS SCART goes to the TV; and that's it. No other SCART plugs sockets to use. 1. What would one do about a DVD player (hardly ever used, so not a big deal). 2. I assume that the STB has but one analogue output channel (like NTL cable); at least only one video signal channel. 3. When I press 'direct record' on the VHS, I get a message something like 'recording directly from TV'; and it records okay. But when the TV gets switched off, the recording stops. 4. Recording via VHS programme timer does not work (using AV1 as the channel) -- I sort of expected it to work like NTL (by choosing the channel programmed to NTL output). Blank recording, but not noise. 5. I don't need to be able to switch between digital channels during a recording sequence. But I see the STB has some sort of timer facility -- there are instructions on the timer, but no indication what is its purpose. TIA, Jon C. |
