Re: Camcorder help please!
 

Ooh ok, so I connect the camcorder directly to the video recorder itself? Cos I connected it to the TV last time and it recorded nothing- sorry for not being very savvy about camcorders! Will go and try it.

That would get you nowhere because signals do not pass from the TV to the video, only from the video to the TV. To record signals from the camera, you have to connnect the camera to the recorder. Once you connect the camera to the telly you can watch the pictures, but that's all. If you connect the camera to the VCR you pass the signal from the camera, through the VCR, and on to the TV that way. The VCR records the signal as it passes through.

You were recording your telly av channel which had nothing going to it lol ;) Plug it into a scart in on your vcr, switch to av on the video and play the camcorder while recording on vcr ;)

If your TV and VCR are connected by a fully cabled scart lead then you can pass a signal the other way, you need to set the VCR to the AV that relates to the TV SCART socket.

Now that your problem is sorted & to string this thread out a bit more...

Did you say you "found" this camcorder?

Are you intending to use the camcorder or just wanting to get the A/V off the tape?

Well, I found it at my dad's house- think it's his new woman's so thought I'd test it out! Am using the camcorder..
