I am getting totally confused!!! I have connected everything according to the manufacturers description including a Cable TV set top box. Everying is OK when I want to watch either input from DVB or Cable. BUT.....when I try to record on the DVD player using either AV1(DVB) or AV2 (Cable) then turn off the TV - the DVD then ceases to record what I intended then records a blank screen at the moment I turn off the TV! Surely I do not have to keep the TV on to record anything! Something not quite right here - but I'm damned if I know what it is! The output from the TV AV4 socket is setup to go to the DVD on AV1. Anybody out there with a solution? AARRRGGGGGGG!!!
