yamada dvr-8000 dvd recorder:

I've got ntl cable scarted to my tv scarted to my dvd recorder and scart for my stereo sound amp. I need some advice on recording. I've bought this machine recently, all set up and working fine, including recording which I managed once. However since then I've not been able to record on timer or straight away. On timer I go through all the aspects as in the manual, nothing records. On recording straight away, i find the settings are not stored from the last occasion, which i dont know if this recorder actually does. anyway i tried to reset it for record, by pressing INPUT, then selecting scart as this is the method I use to connect dvd to tv to cable to stereo sound. However on scart I get no picture, I get a message that no signal can be found through scart, yet all the connections are ok, all scarts secure and fitted tightly. each product works fine apart from recording on dvd. i try repeatedly but no picture through scart for my INPUT, so i press NAVIGATION and tried av-in scart again, and selected all the other options ie record quality etc. once this is complete i still have the same problem as the dvd is trying to locate a picture from scart, the manual states on locating scart via input that the tv automatically tunes to cable/tv but all i get is a blank screen with the scart error message to check my connections. surely if i am getting a mesage clearly then the scarts are fine? what do you think the problem could be ?
