Page 1 of E55 Set Up Problem
this thread has been closed

I've just bought a Panasonic E55 DVD Recorder on the recommendation of group members, but am struggling with the set up. I only want to link it with a Grundig 1500 Freeview STB and a Samsung TV - both of which have two scart connections. The Grundig and the Panasonic have aerial and RF inputs.

I have connected the AV1 Scart from the E55 to the TV and have connected the AV2 Scart from the E55 to the STB. I have then connected the aerial to the STB, with an RF lead connecting from the STB to the TV.

Whilst this seem to work for viewing, my problem is that I cannot seem to set up the terrestrial stations on the E55 to enable to record from them. Any suggestions?

Both you ariel & Scart leads should go from the Grundig into the Panasonic. Then from the Panasonic to the TV. Your second scart from the Grundig can then go to the TV.

My set up is different to others but there is only really 2 ways for the scarts to go. Grundig out to A/V 2 in on Panasonic. AV 1 on Panasonic to TV.
The second way would be. Grundig out to Panasonic in AV/1 then AV /2 out from Panasonic to TV.

As I said I have mine wired different to others so can`t check but one of the 2 above is correct. Hope this helps.
