Hi, I have a Panasonic DMR-E80H DVD-R player and I also have Time Warner Cable with "Dig"(not HD) Cable and a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 2100 cable box. My problem is that the DVD-R when I try to Auto Find channels DOESN'T. It tries and doesn't find them. I have tried almost any combinations of things and have not gotten it to work. The DVD player plays fine, and it sends "Video" set up menu's and Blue Screen signal to the TV, but no "TV."
I went to the Cable Box Manufacturers web site and looked at the manual for the box, and noticed they make a kluge add on external "Bypass Module" that seems to have something to do with recordable machines. Of course my Cable provider TWC is no help, as they want me to buy their DVR service. Does anyone have any suggestions??? HELP!
For further clarification....
Sorry I guess I assumed that it would be understood that the DVD-R was set up in the conventional way. The DVD-R is connected to the Cable Box with a piece of Coax and outputs to TV via Coax, and S video, so that the cable box video signal goes through the passive "Pass Thru" when the DVD-R is off and feeds the Recorder. The DVD played outputs to the TV via SVideo. And yes I want to record Analog TV.
Thank You
