Are you sure your audio/video feed from the dvd recorder is set to the correct source on the television set? |

yes it is...the whole thing is kinda complicated...there is a 42 in plazma hooked up to a viewsat fta,a tv antenna,a computer,a surround sound system,a free standing cd-dvd player,a vhs as well as the lg dvd recorder....it all works great...you can record vhs from any source,record cd or dvd from any source,play it all back thro the big sound system...the only problem is tv justs records in b&w on the lg..i can record tv on the vhs and then from there onto the dvd recorder ...lots of wires fer sure...programs from the tv antenna also record well.... |

You've got to give more connection info. If there's component cables to the TV, they could be connected wrong resulting in B&W, if there's an s-video cable in there somewhere, one of the pins could be bent or broken giving B&W. |

ok..there is component cables goin to the tv from the viewsat,the vhs,the surround sound,the cd dvd player and the lg dvd recorder...the only s-vid cable is going from the viewsat to the tv....one thing i have noticed is that when the lg dvd recorder is recording,the vid doesn't appear on the tv as componant 4 as it should it only shows on the tv screen as componant 7 which is the viewsat fta |

Better Off Red
Yor connection is wrong
David Massey tried to tell yo that
Yo can't connect reciver to TV and from TV to recorder
Yo have to connect Receiver to Recorder and out of recorder to TV
A matching Input from remote must be selected so yo can watch from recorder to TV
Follow my diagram:
This recorder is a progressive scan output
i.e.
5 Cables (component out) must be connected from receorder to TV |
