Setting up my Phillips dvdr72????

[Taskmaster4]

Hey I recently purchased this dvd recorder and cant figure out to do it. I currently have 3 vcr's hooked up in my room and a dvd player now the question is how do I hook i one vcr to the recorder while all 3 vcrs are still hooked up together to record. Also how do I hook up the dvd player to the record Do I need a S video cable for that?? Also for my vcrs I dont have a svideo slot. Any help would be appreciated thanks

If the final VCR goes to the TV via scart , unplug it from TV and put it into EXT2 on DVD Recorder. Then scart from EXT1 on DVD recorder to TV.

You shouldn't need to uncouple the VCRs

Stick DVD player into Cam 1 on the front of DVD recorder.

I am assuming DVDR72 has same connections as 70 and 75.

Do I still need a svideo cable? Also sorry Im new what is scart?

If you've not heard of scart you're obviously not in UK.

You may use RCA Phono Plugs which I guess would be Yellow for video and Red and White for Audio.

We have one plug called a Scart Plug intead of individual plugs.

Just replace the word scart with phono plugs in my first post.

As for S-VHS don't know , never used it. If you videos aren't S-VHS you won't need to either.

Thanks bro got the dvd player working on it just gott awork on the vcr Is there a way I can record a dvd with the extras on it and the menus like a normal dvd?? Thanks for the help it is saving me alot of aggravation lol

The only way to copy a DVD with menus etc is via a PC. You've got to look at a DVDrecorder as video recorder.

Re VCR . My remote has a button on the top 'Monitor' . If you press that it will allow you to access EXT2 and CAM1 using the ch+ and ch- buttons.
If you want to copy a video use the VCR last in line and record on EXT1 . to record the film of a DVD use CAM1.
