My vsh to hard-drive on Panasonic E80H problem - Help please

[Shtirlits]

Hi,

I'm new here and pretty much out ofmy option, so I'm asking for some help. I just got E80H and can't record from my Mitsubishi HS-U500 VCR to E80H hard-drive. I have taped a tv segment and want to record it to a hard-drive on E80H, but all I get is noise when playing it back.

I didn't get any copy protection warning and I think I shouldn't because it's my tape that I recorded from the TV. I have tried recording from the TV to hard-drive and it works fine, but not from my vsh tape. I have tried connecting it in different ways, but no luck…
I just want to record from my vsh tape using my vcr to the hard-drive, no fancy set ups or anything…all I get is noise screen with frames moving, but no picture or even audio. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

Sounds to me like you didn't change the "Input" setting on the recorder to match the VCR. I believe there are at least three different inputs and the recorder defaults to input 1 which is the "component video" input. I think for standard VHS input the input should be "L3" or line 3.

Bob W,

How do I change this input, where do I find it?

Thanks.

Well on my E50 recorder it's only on the remote and is located in the bottom part of the remote that slides back to expose more buttons.
