Thanks for your helpful comments, JontyG. I'm still not sorted though.....

2) DVD recorder/video doesn't receive signal when the V+ is on HD.
VCR scart is only enabled once you start the transfer to DVD function
How can I use my DVD recorder to record a DVD fro say my Nan, I can't tune it in to the signal.

5) I have only 1 optical link input on my surround system, which I use for my DVD player and the HD will not work through it or vice versa.
Try the HDMI audio override option (home - settings - display & audio settings menu)
How can I have 2 optical links plugged into my surround system, when there is only 1 input on it.No point using the audio over ride, when I can't plug it in. The PACE box I had (until 1pm today) was plugged through the DVD player, optical link to DVD player. Don't want to use RCA leads.

Any further help will be appreciated.
