PANASONIC DMR-E80H Help and advice needed

[dwhite]

Hi all,

I live in the UK and have just got a PANASONIC DMR-E80H (Well I am waiting for it to be delivered lol)
I would like to know if I can connect my TV, Video, and sky box to it with Scart leads or do I need S-video leads with audio?
I am getting the UK power supply so I am guessing there will no porblems hooking the unit up. straight out of the box?
It will be able to receive UK TV channels through the Ariel?
Which blank DVDs do you recommend using?
I help at all on the Panasonic DMR-E80H would be helpful.

Thanks

Dave

Where did you order the PANASONIC DMR-E80H from? Did you order it from america or uk?

from america

Well a USA model will only record NTSC and will not have SCART connectors.

It does have composite and S-Video connectors.

Thanks for the help

I am having some more problems.
I can not watch Sky on the dvd recorder, or any normal tv channels and it seems it can only read NTSC signals.
What can I do!!!!

PLEASE HELP ME

Well.... It looks like you did not do your homework. Return it or just write off loss. There is nothing you can do about it. At least that is how I understand it.

thanks for that, but it ws not the answer I was looking for, never mind

Hi all

Will a PAL to NTSC converter work??

Will a PAL to NTSC converter work??

Yes it will. Is this what you are looking for ?

[dwhite]

ok, it looks like I need to get a refund, I should of done some more research in to it.

DOES anyone know if I can get the dvd recorder to view UK channels before I ask for a refund. I thought if I was to use a PAL to NTSC converter, that would enable me to watch UK channels, but it does not look like it.

Thanks

Dave

TV Tuner in US model of DVD Recorder is NTSC, so answer is "NO. You are not going to be able to use US TV Tuner in UK to watch PAL chanels". You can switch chanels on some external device (TV, VCR....) and use convertor to covert from PAL to NTSC and record from External Input. Not from TV Tuner that is in your Recorder.
