DVD Recorder Connected to an LCD TV

Can I connect my Panasonic DMR-ES15 DVD Recorder to my Sharp LC-32D33X LCD TV to record all the new channels in Australia? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

I don't think you can.

Unless I misunderstood your post, you have a new LCD TV with a built-in digital tuner and an older DVD recorder with an analog tuner - and you want to record the digital channels you get on your TV on the DVD recorder.

Unless your TV can output the TV signal it receives, then you won't be able to feed this into the DVD recorder. TVs don't usually do this.

The only way this would work is if you had an external digital tuner box (which you would use instead of the internal tuner in the TV). This would have outputs. You should then be able to go from this into the recorder and then out to the TV.

Hope this answers your question.

All the best.
