DVD Communication Problem
Hi All
Our DVD recorder keeps losing the signal from the PACE box. I don't think it is a problem with the box as all I have to do is auto tune the DVD to collect the signal again. Where it becomes a worry is if I wish to record something whilst I am out and the signal drops between setting the recording and transmission. 
TIA

Re: DVD Communication Problem
Its connected to the PACE box via scart already hence why I think it's a DVD prob rather than anything else (only one signal to collect).
It's wonderful to record an hours worth of blank screen (its the DVD which is saying "no signal")

Re: DVD Communication Problem
still dont get it , whats with the autotune bit , surely you would only need to set the dvd recorder to av1 or whatever to pick up the signal

May sound obvious but are you clicking save on your find signal menu?

Re: DVD Communication Problem
The only way to get the TV picture back on to the DVD is to go through the DVD menu and tune in the signal again. A pre recorded DVD automatically appears on the TV with no problem.

You don't need to tune anything to record via the scart, you should just record the corresponding ext channel i.e. EXT1, EXT2, AV1, AV2 or what ever it is named on your recorder.....
If, when your DVD recorder is set to record the correct EXT channel, the recorder says "no signal" then check the scart is:-
Securely attached.
In the correct sockets.
The correct type.

Re: DVD Communication Problem
Thanks everyone.
I suspect I shall have to find a different scart  (got a cupboard full of cables). At least hubby will be home to move the TV this time (feels like it weighs a ton  ).
PS The DVD is on EXT1, TV on 1 and EXT2.
