When i record on av1 channel on dvd-sr150m there is no picture but there is a picture on av1. If record on bbc1 etc I cannot change length of recording or choose pdc. Please advise as I am ready to throw it out

If the mini has two scart sockets you can connect a scart lead from scart 2 or av2 into av1 on a dvd recorder then select av1 as the record channel on the dvd and the press play on the mini and record on the dvd.

turn off auto wide function in your tv setup.

If it has a scart, you can get a scart lead to connect it to your TV. You would need to set the VCR to the Scart socket, IE: AV1 etc.. to record. You wouldn't be able to change channel on the TV, to watch another channel while recording though. If you had a set-top box, you could connect that up to the scart of the video then record, while you watched another channel on your TV.

If you have two scart sockets on your tv,then connect a scart from av1 on the dvd into the tv,then connect a scart from the sky box into av2 on the dvd,your recording channel on the dvd will be av2.
If you only have on socket on the tv,then connect a scart from av1 on the dvd into the sky box,your recording channel will be av1,connected like this you may have to turn off the sky to watch dvd`s.

1. Connect the camcorders yellow, red, and white (Audio/ Video) to the input on the back of the combo called AV1 or Video 1.
2. Then turn the channel on the DVD recorder to AV1 or Video 1. (A couple channels down from channel 2)
3. Make sure camera is in VCR mode and hit play on camera
4. You should see your camera video on your TV and rewind to the place you want to start recording and hit stop.
5. Put an empty DVD in recorder and hit Rec. Button (usually red)
6. Then hit play on your camcorder until you would like to stop
7. Then hit stop on your DVD recorder and each section like this will be another chapter.

Good Luck

Are you in the UK? Is the new DVD player compatible with TV in your area?

Some technical details like make and model would be helpful.

Try setting the TV to AV1 & see if the dvd picture appears.There should be a button on the remote to change TV/video. Hope this helps.

The method is the same as for TV channels; select the input (i.e. view the desired channel), then press the record button. AV1 and AV2 usually are at the end of the channel list, and can be found by pressing the channel UP or DOWN buttons.

Sounds like if you are getting the right Video and not audio then the audio are hooked in wrong. Unless you are on SAP (Second audio program) in this case take it off of Sap. If you are getting the sound that you are looking at once you change channels to view another program, then it should be easy. Just change audio jacks back to AV1, 2, 3 etc depending on which one you are using. Hope this helps!

This could be a couple of problems. I'm not trying to make you feel dumb or anything but sometimes people miss the obvious. Do you have an universal remote? How is your vct wired to your tv? Does your cable go to your vct or your tv first? These sound like silly questions but they are important.
