I have just purchased a Samsung R-128 DVD recorder from Richer Sounds for £89, and first impressions seem great.
However on closer inspection, when I pass through the RGB signal from my cable box into the recorder I can see there is a noticable degredation in image quality compared to plugging the cable box directly into the RGB scart on the back of the TV.
The image looks softer, and there is an odd light flickering on mainly blue colours...
Should this be so, is it "acceptable" or should a recorder pass the RGB signal perfectly with no loss in quality.
PS, actual DVD playback from purchased DVDs is flawless with no image quality loss. I have also tried different scart leads, from gold "performance" leads, to bog standard £2 ones, with the same result.
Cheers.
