We have tried to record from the TV on to a video cassette using several VCR machines but without success. We now feel that this is most likely because the TV is not tuned in to the VCR. We are not very good with this sort of thing.



Is there someone out there who could help us to get the VCR to record from our TV?



Thanks.

Not sure if you have had help on this but just speaking in general - no knowledge of specific TV model or VCR:



If no SCART sockets are available on both devices:

1. Make sure the aerial lead from the aerial is plugged into the "input" socket on the VCR.

2. Make sure that another coax lead is connected between the "output" socket of the VCR and the TV aerial socket.



If SCART sockets are available on BOTH devices:

just connect the VCR and TV via a SCART cable.



You then need to make sure that the VCR tuner is tuned into the same channels as the TV so that it is easier to match whatever program number you select from the TV and/or the VCR.

You should have instructions on tuning your TV to the VCR.
