Aerial is easy.....DVDR to Video to TV.

What are you wanting to do? How many scarts on yer TV?

If yer TV has two scart sockets, one from DVDR to TV, one from VCR to TV.





The 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California, less than 100 were made. My father spent 3 years restoring this car.....it is his love.....it is his passion....."it is his fault he didn`t lock the garage!"

Connect from DVDR to TV via scart socket

You can watch and record on the VCR through the normal aerial connections. Just tune-in a spare channel number.

Connect the VCR to the second (if available - most now have two) scart on the DVDR and you should be able to copy video tapes onto disc (subject of course to copyright approval/protection). I`ve copied all our old home video tapes onto disc.

Phillips usually say the DVDR has to be connected to the TV because of copy protection circuitary - so may be better to connect RF to video, then DVDR, and then to TV.
