can't tape cable
 

i've just bought a Philips dvd/ video (all in 1) to replace 2 seperates.

I've connected the scarts, etc as per instructions and when on the video channel (on tv) i can view cable so the signal is comming from digital box, through video onto tv - but i can't tape the cable channel?

On the old video i had to select AV which taped the cable but on the new dvd/ video it doesn't have an AV button

Help..............................

I think if you press the channel + or - button you will come to two channels called A1 and A2 (or something similar) and you have to use one of those to record from cable. :wonder:

You have the second scart output of the cable box going to the DVD/VID? If so, as said above, switch to correct AV input. D

On mine its below channel one, a1, a2, a3 etc. To check that this works, I first switched on my SkyBox and flicked down the channels.
I`m not very good with new fangled gadgets either :lol1:

nope, the video doesn't have any AV, A1,A2 etc buttons which is the confusing thing - if i try to tape the cable when it's on this channel (watched through video) then it just tapes a terestrial channel :(

It will have an external input. Check the book! If not its pants and take it back!
