I am considering getting a dvd recorder for my TV combo, one question is I only have scart in on the TV combo so will I still be able to record tv shows? If so will it be reduced quality?

all dvd recorders have a tv tuner in them and so your tv's own tuner is not used for recording - only playback - scart is fine for playback, better if your tv supports rgb signal through the scart rather than composite.

R U hoping to record from the dvd/vhs player in the combo unit? - may be hampered by copy protection on most uk market dvd recorders - there are ways around this but it aint simple for non technical folks.

It's simple when you know how. Worth having a look at their multiregion player/recorders too. They chip them so they're foolproof, unlike some remote hacked multiregion machines.

ho ho 'video enhancer' great euphemism

love the text that says 'Stabilizing the video signal may be necessary for successful backup operations'

Works a treat for me. I copy rentals to VHS and they come out much better than pre-recorded VHS ever did! Retains the surround too if you set the DVD to output 2 speakers and select the Dolby Surround track

Wasn't actually planing on copying from the vhs but that maybe a bonus, was just wondering about recording tv chanels.

Think I may pay a visit to richer sounds
