Hi,

this is a Sony website, however i took the liberty to have a look and there does not seem to be any support for this any more, but below is a link that you may find of help, other than that, well.................

Oh, and i should add that since the digital change over this will not accept digital signals so its very unlikely you will be able to record with it.

Hi Rogerdgill,

Welcome to Sony Forums :smileyhappy:, looking forward to be a customer for Sony products in the near future

No need for owner manual , because it will not give you much info about retuning the VCR

Actually you need to connect something called DTV Converter Box , between your preview box and VCR

Hereunder is a video link how to connect it

Hereunder is a link for many of them available on eBay

Hope this info help you to connect both devices

Thank you for the replies so far.

I think I need to narrrow down my question a bit.

We have an analogue signal from the Freeview ( sorry about the 'preview' word in my original message) box to the VCR and TV however the problem is finding the channel  which the VCR to TV RF output is using. There should be a test signal to help with this but there does not appear to be an obvious way to switch on this test signal.

Perhaps my question should be rephrased as "how do I switch on/off the RF test signal on this VCR"?

Hi,

yes that narrowed it a bit, however your saying you have an Analogue signal since Digital switchover!, im afraid thats not the case its Digital now, you have a freeview box so you need to change the RF channel on the VCR preferably one by one till you get a picture on the tv, without instructions for the VCR will be difficult.

Hello Rogerdgill again,

Yes , it is now more clear in you 2nd post about what you want do.

Your freeview box (RF out) connected to VCR (RF in) by RF cable (let us call it Cable#1)

you connected another RF cable between VCR (RF out) to TV (RF in) (let us call it cable#2)

You search through analogue channel in TV but you cannot find the signal from VCR or Freeview box ... is that the problem you are facing ??

I think we have to isolate the problem by do the following steps:

1- disconnect the cable # 1 and play a VHS tape in the VCR , can you get the VCR picture on your TV?

2- connect a RF cable directly from Freeview box (RF out) to TV (RF in), can you get the picture of freeview box?

we will continue after getting the results

Thanks
