If you have an aerial lead going back to the TV from the DVD recorder then it might mean you just need to retune the TV.

If all you have is the aerial, going back to the TV, then investing in a SCART would be advisable for the playback of DVDs.

If it still doesn't work, whats the make and model of the recorder?

the dvd doesnt seem to know the t.v. is on? it displays the message tv on? its a mico Espejo r311
T.V picture much improved but cant tune the dvd from this message

terrierlady

brought the scart lead and its away, now looking how to record so await my next daft question...
I expect theres loads of people out there who laugh at the questions i ask. there is a famous quote somewhere about asking questions?

P>S this machine was brought in Sainsburys for £99.00 which was reduced down in sale if anyone wants one.

I too am having problems with setting up this machine.

I have connected aerial and scart but when I select scart cable on installation menu I lose all output from the DVD recorder and it returns to TV picture.

Previously the menu was scrolling across the screen and changing colour slightly - Is this normal on setup or have I a dodgy machine?

Any help would be much appreciated

The DVD recorder's signal will only be available via scart. The RF (aerial) plugs only pass the signal through so that there is a signal going to the internal tuner.
