RE: MICO Espejo R311. DVD Recorder. I have one. First thoughts.

has anyone else had aproblem with ghost images and flickering on tv channels thru the mico?
it is a horizontal scrolling from left to right when i press the tv channel on to ext1 on the mico i get the same channel i was watching on tv with quite a bit of interference,
.and the flickering tends to be on video tapes when copying them at the top of the screen on dark scenes

i have a vcr and tv cables connected upto the mico and the mico is connected to the tv with a scart lead,turning of the video etc does not get rid of the interfernce

anyone know how to get rid of it?or whats causing it

also anyone noticed how hot the recorder gets is this normal?

thanks for the replies and help
david

yes the mico can record in ntsc format i am copying my american tapes to dvd without a problem,i am using ntsc 4.43 output to playback the tapes instead of the usual ntsc playback on pal tv setting.as long as you are using a scart lead for connection to dvd recorder and the dvd recorder is connected the same way the picture will be in colour
the mico automatically recognises the ntsc signal and switches to that mode for recording
