Timed (auto) record from freeview with JVC DR-MV5SEK

Hi...I am trying to do a timed record with a JVC DR-MV5SEK DVD
Recorder from a freeview (digital channel). The TV is a JVC
LT-20DA6SK. We set everything up to go with the timed recording
interface on the DVD recorder. Then we turn the DVD Recorder to
standby. We have the TV playing out the channel from which we hope to
record. However, when the recording time starts, the DVD does kick
itself out of standby, and starts recording, but the recording comes
out blank. We have tried every possible SCART combination with no
success. We are running to SCART cables (one from TV out to Recorder
in, and one from Recorder out to TV in). Nothing we try seems to fix
this. Anyone any ideas?

Are you sure the recorder is set to the right av input? Say it has two
or three, which would be usual, then the right one needs to be
selected to correspond with whichever scart socket the tv is sending
the picture to. If the tv is inputting to av1 and you have your
recorder set to av2 and so forth you're likely to get nothing but blue
screen. I think most tvs only output on one scart, you should be able
to find out which in your manual, it'll probably say input/output. On
my sony you put the tv to whatever channel you want to output then
check the av button and make sure one of the avs is showing that
channel, and that will be your output channel for TV out. I think
either of the scarts on the recorder should accept input, but make
sure that av switch is on the right one.

Does your TV have a timer record function?

If so, you have to set that to record, and that will send the channel
you choose to the appropriate scart socket.

You then set your recorder to record from that scart connection, or if
your TV and recorder have TV-Link or something like that, the TV will
start the recorder for you.

Hi Ian...Thanks, very helpful advice. We have been stuck on this for
ages. They are both JVCs and I do believe there is TV-Link on them
(the kit is at my friend's house).
