Hello,

since 3 days I am also a owner of a DVD2.

I have a BV6.22. The first scart is connected to a Beocord V8000 via a Samsung Digibox. In the connections menu (VTape + STB). The DVD2 is with the second scart connencted and as VAUX in the connections menu registered.

If I look TV via the tuner of the DVD2 and want to record a programme always the V8000 starts and I cannot rrecord to the harddisk.

How can this be fixed. Any ideas?

Beautiful design though, and the cabinet quality is stunning! Not too sure about the innards at the moment, but I don't have much experience with the DVD2. Didn't seem too user friendly when I first had a play, but I probably just need to play with it more!

Overall though, beautifully finished, and absolutely looks the part.

Here is a workaround,

Most set top boxes have 2 scarts, so you can connect one to the TV and one to the EXT1 socket of the DVD2.

You can programme the DVD2 to record at a certain time from EXT1, and - separately- you can programme the set top box to tune to a channel at a certain time, using the set top box own scheduler.

The Good:

It should work, and all with the Beo4

The Bad

it is not elegant,
it require the 2 clocks to be in sync,
it does not "lock" the channel on the set top box, like another recorder would do,
it will not allow recording of the DVB module in the Beovision.

There is no STB-controller in the DVD2

eduard:
now I have add the Sat reciver to the DVD-2 and now it becomes tricky, can not find out how to add this correctly.

Same here. You need the HDR1/2 to get this working, for timer recording.

Can you timer record from a satellite channel?

It looks good.

40 seconds to start up is far too long though. I understand that it has to "load" the hard drive... ,8,1 (some of your will remember this....lol) Why should you have to wait that long just to watch a dvd.

Please let us know your thoughts when you start to make timer recordings with it..
