Analogue to DV?

[iam 0]

I have just bought a PC101, and very pleased with it I am too. But, i cannot as yet copy my old analogue video to DV. I have read the manual over and over and as far as i can see i am doing everything to the book. I am using a scart socket from the vcr to a a/v socket in the camcorder. Anyone encoutered this before and can it be fixed.

Thanks in advance.

Ian....

Is it a 1-way scart, does it have 3 or 6 leads with composite connections (connections the same as you get on the back of your stereo) if its a 3 lead scart does it have an in/out selector.

Some scart leads are one way only, some are two way with selector switches, some are two way with 6 leads on the end....
If you can plug a TV into your vcr and see a picture, then the fault may lie with your camera.

PM me with details of your set up and I'll try and help you out....

Pop down to Dixons or Tandy and buy a switchable SCART plug tyhat switches between INPUT and OUTPUT. The stock SONY Scart adapter only allows the signal out of the camera, not back in.
