Emerson ewv603 manual for recording

Hi. It is usually channel 3 or 4. Just try setting your TV to 3 and see what happens. Make sure your TV is set to VCR.

To get the VCR to record a digital signal it will need a digital tuner. As most were not fitted with them you need a set top box connected via a scart socket. The box will have to be set manually to the station you want to record. You can do a timer recording with the VCR just like before. But you must sent the channel to the scart socket which has the box connected to it. Also don't have the PDC control set to on (if it has one).
If you are thinking about buying a new model to record, consider if you want to keep the recordings. If you do go for a DVD recorder. If you don't go for a hard disc recorder.

OTR stands for one touch record, each press of the button will increase the recording time. However if you keep pressing the button it should go back to "0" and stop!

If the TV has a scart socket and the vcr also, you can connect it that way, with a scart lead. Then all you need do is press the channel button on the VCR till it reads AV. There may be more than one AV socket so use the one with the connection of the scart lead, it should say on the scart socket what it is. IE: AV1. All you need do is set the channel on the TV you want to record, the press record.
You won't be able to watch another channel though while recording.
Some TV's with multi scart have options for AV settings or recording from the TV, so check these out.
Consider buying a universal remote.

My Emerson EWV603 VCR came up on channel 3.
My manual says to put a tape in, push play at the VCR.
After 2 or 3 seconds, push play again AT THE VCR. This
changed my default channel to 4. Maybe you can do the
same to go from 4 to 3.

Sounds like your VCR & TV are on different channels.
The VCR's ouput is channel 3 or 4. Try turning your TV to either channel and see if you get a picture. OR try playing the tape and after 2 or 3 seconds, push the play button again for a few seconds to change the VCR's ouput channel.

Change TV viewing channel to 3 or 4. If this works your VCR's output channel got changed during storm. If this is the case, review previous answers to prblems with this VCR.

tune in the AV channel on the VCR to the TV and save the settings, then you should be able to record your programmes


kind regards

Is it possible to record TV programming on a VCR when using a DTV converter? h1 = document.getElementById("title").getElementsByTagName("h1")[0];h1.innerHTML = widont(h1.innerHTML); Hi,

I had the same problem and found this answer that worked for me. Hope this does the trick for you.

Simple stated, your VCR must be set to channel 3 also. Check it out.

1. You must have the VCR tuned to record on channel 3.
2. You must have the VCR connected to output signal of the DTV converter box. In other words, the converter box must be connected between the antenna and the VCR. So, the likely configuration you would use with a coaxial cable is antenna to DTV converter to VCR to TV.
3. You must tune the DTV converter to the channel you want to record prior to recording. The VCR won't be able to change channels on the DTV converter.
4. You will be able to use the timed record function on the VCR but you must adhere to steps 1-3.

If this sounds freakishly familiar to recording on a digital cable or satellite set-top box, you are right. It is exactly like recording a signal from a digital cable box or satellite receiver. While it may be inconvenient to perform the steps above, at least the option still exists to record on a VCR while using a DTV converter box.
Disadvantage of DTV Converter: You will lose the ability to watch one program and record another with the DTV converter. Sorry for the bad news.
The reason is the tuner. The VCR tuner is useless with digital except for recognizing channel 3. The digital converter is a single tuner item so it only receives one station at a time.

Most VCRs of the last 10+ years are programmed via the remote box. If you have the matching remote, there should be a button which brings up an on-screen menu where you can select various functions such as setting the time/date, tape speed, channel programming, and the unattended recording you desire.
