HDMI disables scart 1 however when you choose the option to record your recordings to something else then the VCR scart will still work.

So you can still connect to your TV with HDMI and as long as its set up correctly then it should out put to your VCR/DVD.

Have you checked that the VCR/DVD is set to record the correct channel?

Have you tried connecting the V+(Bottom Scart) to the Line-1(Bottom) Scart on the VCR? Then doing the copy option on the V+ that is how I have mine set up and it works fine.
