Page 1 of LG RH7500 DVD /HDD recorder - first time user!

Hi,

I`ve just installed an LG RH7500 DVD/HDD recorder and am very pleased with the results - the multi-region hack took a number of attempts but eventually the "Successful" message came on screen. However a couple of questions that I hope some of you may know the answers to!

1) I`m using one SCART conection from a Grundig Skydigibox into the LG and then on to my JVC AV-32WR2EK TV (AV1 socket). I also take a second SCART cable from the digibox into the second SCART socket on the TV (AV2). When I view through the DVD recorder, the image appears fuzzy compared to the very crisp (and brighter) image seen when viewing the direct connection (AV2). In addition when viewing via the DVD recorder there is a very slight delay incurred in the programme so I hear an echo if I stand between this TV and the TV in our kitchen -this inbuilt delay doesn`t occur if we were watching the direct AV2 programme. Are these two things (fuzziness and echo) normal when watching via the DVD recorder??

2) Is there a code I can use with the LG`s remote to operate the JVC TV?? The manual only mentions Zenith, Samsung, Sony and Hitachi.

3) In the arrangement mentioned above, we have to set the DVD recorder to AV2 to get input from the digibox, I`m using AV3 to connect to a VCR and will used AV4 to connect my video camera - so can someone explain to me (in clearer language than the manual) when, why and how you`d use AV1?? Page 17 of the manual talks about the AV1 decoder and says this is normally set to OFF. I don`t understand what it is doing if this is set to ON (as described in the manual). When if ever should this be set to ON?

Look forward to hearing from you more technically minded users!

I`ve also just bought this dvd recorder and I also have a problem with the colour. Its much darker when viewed through the recorder. I also have it connected via a scart. I have a sneaky suspicion it may be the tv though, its a SLX - something tv.

i have had problems regarding playback of dvds with the lg rh7500.it seemed to start with region 0 discs and now only plays brand new discs which would sound like dirty lens or discs but messing around i have managed to get it to play 5yr old dvds also any help would be appreciated. :(
