Hi all,

I bought a Ferguson FV105HV second hand off eBay - it looks like a very good (albeit basic) unit. Here's a pretty favourable review.

However, it's come with the remote but no manual and I'm having a few problems.

I can get a picture from it using the scart A/V output, and the on-screen menu seems to work okay etc.. It plays tapes, and it looks like I can do the basics like set the clock, and and manually tune in the channels.

What I can't do is this:

1). Get any picture/signal out of it on the aerial (RF/antenna) connection.

2). Reset the whole thing, so that it does an Auto-Setup (as it's says it can on the front, and as they say in the review linked to above).

The onscreen menus don't seem to help - the set up options seem to be limited to what I've said above - setting time, manual tuning etc..

Perhaps I need to setup what channel it uses on the antenna loop-through to the TV as part of the initial setup (I used to have to do that on my old VCR) - which is why I can't get the TV to tune into it?

I'm a bit stumped.

I think I'll be able to use it as it is - only using scart for its output, and going through each 'analogue air' channel and manually tuning it in, but it would be really good to be able to sort out how to do everything else with it. (A 45 second auto-set up sounds a lot more enticing than manual tuning!)

Does anyone have this same VCR, and/or the manual for it?

I've drawn a blank searching for resources for it on the web - except for a couple of places that might sell me a paper manual for about as much as I paid for the VCR!

Any help would be much appreciated,
theDruid.
