etc.) between TV and DVD recorder is correctly and securely connected.

option (e.g. VIDEO 1, LINE 2, etc.), so that signal from the DVD recorder can
appear on screen. For further information, please check the instruction manual
offered by your TV manufacturer.

this problem even when you connect the recorder to TV, try connecting your
recorder to the TV’s S-VIDEO input.
