(I was asked to repost due to technical problem, so apologies for repetition)
Hello all.
I am a new B&O collector, and have just expanded my collection with a MX5500 and VX5000 in remarkably clean and shiny white. Complete with motorised stand, they look great!
The problem I have is that although the VCR plays back fine through the TV, there is no remote control of the VCR. The remote (Beolink 1000) works fine otherwise as far as I can tell.
I know the VCR is controlled via the TV (having no IR sensor itself) - does anyone know how the signals for remote get from the TV to the VCR? I am presuming via the SCART rather than the RF. Does this require a special SCART lead? I have a fully connected SCART lead, and have swapped it for another fully connected lead, with the same result.
In the "TV SET" menu, the AV1 input is set to V.TAPE-1/NEW. It is *not* possible to change this to /OLD - could this be my problem?
All (any) help gratefully received. You can email me directly on bando(at)owstwick.org
Many thanks, Ray
PS: My TV has almost perfect focus in the centre, that gets worse towards the edges, focus with a dark picture is much better than with light. I first thought focus pot, but as the focus is almost perfect in the centre, I think it is something else. Is this a known fault with this chassis?
