Sony RDR-HX525 dvd/hd recorder
I'm hoping this doesn't stretch the forum rules too far....
I have a Sony RDR-HX525 dvd/hd recorder which is rather less than user friendly and the instruction manual seems to contradict itself from section to section.
What I can't get it to do is record from either my VCR or video camera in playback mode. It has L1,L2,L3 channels in addition to the tuner channels, with L3 being the stated channel for such activity. Trouble is, L3 is not available when I start either of those machines - it only becomes available when it sees a signal from the freeview decoder.
I'm lost! Any thoughts?
