Hi, i'm hoping someone can help as i'm going mad with this issue.
I have a Sony Handycam CCD-TRV65E PAL Hi8 Camcorder which i'm trying to play tapes and record on to a Sony RDR-GX120 DVD Recorder. Should be simple enough I thought but I can't get them to talk to each other.
I've got the Red White Yellow cables out of the camcorder into the front sockets on the DVD Recorder and set the input accordingly. All loads up no problem (showing on the TV) for about 5 seconds then the video playback from the camcorder goes to a gray screen and when I click Record it says 'This picture cannot be recorded' with the audio still playing. It's a home movie so it shouldn't be a protection issue and i've tried the camcorder direct to the TV and it displays perfectly.
Any ideas please?
