Page 1 of TV DRIVE RECORDING TO ALBA DVD RECORDER CONNECTIONS

Hi
hope someone can help I have the basic alba dvd recorder and a new tv drive, but I cant seem to get the connections right to transfer to the dvd recorder. the dvd recorder has 1 scart socket, please can anyone advise of what combinations i will need to do. I have contacted telewest who advised on trying different combinations on connections, but i still have had no luck, the nearest i get is a green screen, or the dvd recorder saying no input, can anyone help.

Cheers
Sheldon

Sheldon, when you say the DVD Recorder has one SCART, I assume (hope) you mean it has one SCART INPUT? (Plus a SCART output)

Because if it really only has one SCART on the back, it really is a piece of tat!

Assuming the TV Drive has 2 SCARTs, try this:

Alba SCART (in/out) connected to TV Drive VCR SCART
TV Drive TV SCART to TV

RF leads as normal plus any other audio connections etc that you require.

This should bring the TV Drive picture up onscreen immediately, and when you turn on the Alba Recorder, that should override it and come up as well.

Does it work?

If not, please list out all the relevant outputs and inputs that are on the back of each machine.

Ta very muchly.

Thank very much, the combination did work
