I live in the Languedoc in France and have a satellite dish which is connected to an old Grundig Digibox DV3 and a Samsung LED TV UE40EH6030 and am trying to connect a Samsung DVDR120E player/recorder to them without much success as I cannot seem to get it to work at all - even just to Watch a DVD!!! The satellite dish is connected directly into the Grundig Digibox and I believe that the Scart lead should be connected to the TV from the DVD and then a link scart from the DVD to the Grundig Digibox - but the DVD does not work at all! can you please explain to me what connections I should bu using before it all goes in the bin. My Grandson is coming over from Canada on the day of the football world cup final and I have promised him that I will record the game for him!! so please help me.

Hi MikeB, thank you so much for your quick reply. The DVD is actually a R120E model which is different to the R120 manual that you refer to and does have 2 scart connections and as I said "The satellite dish is connected directly into the Grundig Digibox and I believe that the Scart lead should be connected to the TV from the DVD and then a second scart from the DVD to the Grundig Digibox I will try and work through what you have said and see what happens.

Thanks also to jb38 for your reply. fingers crossed

OK I have tried it all again and have still no success - the only thing I have noticed is that the DVD instructions say that the aerial/satellite cable should be connected to the dvd recorder - but this is not possible as the satellite connection is not the same as the rear of the dvd unit - do I have to have another aerial connection from the tv to the dvd recorder??
