[QUOTE="dave2002, post: 61486, member: 183740"] Personally I'm still having problems in recording from digital channels via a DTR 1500 to Philips VCR - VR840. There are a number of things which you need to know .... plus a few more whichI don't. 1. To set the AV channels on the VCR press the 0 key until the letter E appears in the channel display. Then press 1 or 2 to set E1 or E2 corresponding to AV1 or AV2. 2. Make sure the SCARTs on the VCR are set up the right way round for E1/E2 3. If you connect the VCR to the TV output of the Freeview box, there is a menu option to select the video output format on the Installation menu. Probably better to just get the SCARTS the right way round, but might be worth knowing. If you get this wrong your VCR might not be able to cope with RGB or S-Video inputs. 4. Make sure the aerial lead feeds the digital box first, then loop through to the VCR. Having said that - I'm still not getting it right. Ouch! This box is painful compared with the Nokia 221T - though the picture quality is good. Setting the picture format is also painful, though can be done via the installation menu. For some strange reason loop through seems to compress the image vertically - it's not completely passive - or so it would appear. Dave [/QUOTE]
