Q_Link?

Kimberley

I have a 28inch panasonic TV and on the remote i can if i have a compatable VCR direct record a programme. Meaning i can press just one button to record, it direct links. Now i have a Hitachi VCR that has Video Link on it, but i can't seem to direct record on it..anyone know why? Or does anyone know where i can get an online manual for the VCR to see if a bit is missing for the external link?

The video i have is Hitachi FX98OE :beer:

I cant seem to find that model, are you sure thats right, and how old is the VCR?

is the correct scart socket on the TV linked to the scart on the VCR with a fully wired scart?

Also is the JVC version compatible(i.e. the manual on some Panasonic models only shows compatibility with Grundig/Sony and Phillips systems)

Yep there is two scart sockets on the VCR, one black and one Light Blue, i have the scart running from TV to the black scart socket on the VCR

In my TV manual it says to use the Q_Link feature the VCR needs to be compatable..it says..

TV must be connected to a recording device with the Q_link, Nextviewlink, Datalogic, Easy Link, Megalogic or Smartlink

Does that mean VideoLink will not work?

You see at the moment i cannot record from my VCR but i can watch Videos

Yeah the two aren,t compatible, Im afraid its the same set up as mine a Panasonic TV
some 15 years old but still going strong new video that is allegedly compatible
but it just isnt, just one of those things.
