Why is the TV involved at all? That is, you have some source for the video and you run that to the recorder.
I have a new Samsung Smart TV UE43J5500. I have an old(ish) Sony HD/DVD recorder RDR HXD770.
I am struggling to find a way to record from the TV to the Sony. There appears to be only one output, I. E. USB port. All the other connections are inputs to the TV.
The Sony has video, s-video, HDMI out. Scart plugs.
Is there a USB to scart, or video, or S-video connector?
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks very much
