I've read through a number of relevant posts in this forum, but I'm still confused!
I am thinking of buying a Panasonic DMRE85, but I'm not sure how to insert it into my setup.
My current setup is as follows:
Loop 1 - S-Video Scart
NTL->VCR->TV
Loop 2 - RGB Scart
NTL->DVD Player->TV
(My TV only has one RGB Scart)
I had originally intended to insert the DMRE85 in the setup as follows, but now I'm not sure that this will do what I'm expecting:
Keep loop 1 as it is, change loop 2 to
NTL->DVDR->DVD Player->TV
The two things I am confused about are
1. Will I be able to play a DVD in my DVD player while recording on my DVDR from the NTL box, or will the DVD player output interfere or override in some way?
2. Do I understand correctly that although the DVDR will loop the NTL RGB signal through when in standby mode, when recording the output will be composite only, and when timer mode is set there will be no output at all?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
