Hi all

Any ideas on this....................

Tried last night 0300 hrs to set up a Sky box/DVD record/TV !!!!

Went from Sky box to input on DVD recorder then DVD output to AV1 socket on TV. With DVD record off all was OK but when it was switched on we had audio but no picture. Tried new leads but could not get it to work.

Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Thanks

Mike

Is DVD recorder set to output RGB and not component?

some obscure menu setting maybe , do the tv and dvd recorder have 2 scarts each ??? , if they do then you should be able to get it to work

I have a Phillips DVD recorder and in the instructions it tells me to connect it up like this.....

DVD Rec Scart 2 - Sky TV output Scart
DVD Rec Scart 1 - TV Scart

This was fine but I had to have the DVD on to watch sky
So I connected like this........

Sky Tv Output Scart - TV Scart
Sky Video Output Scart - DVD Rec Scart 1

This all worked fine
