I am hoping this question isnt too non-specific or the answer too obvious but I just shlepped this Panasonic multi-system TV which I originally brought from the US to UK back again to record lots of PAL videos to the Archos. Now however there doesnt seem to be any video output at all.
I can see the sound on the bar graphic input on the Archos but the Archos doesnt report any input signal. All I am doing is to out put the signal from the video out of the Panasonic to the video in on the Archos DVR station. It seems obvious but where am I going wrong? Even worse, I can see the Panasonic adjusting the tracking on the front so I suspect it is properly reading and outputting the video. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong please? I spent a half an hour with Archos tech support to see if there was any reason the Archos couldnt see a PAL video signal but they agreed that the Archos should just see it. I did try to switch between PAL and MESECAM/NTSC to see if the Archos could detect ANYTHING but it cant. (I also tried putting an NTSC VHS into the Panasonic and switching to NTSC on the Panasonic and it does the same: The tracking adjusts again, quickly, - so that the heads read the tape properly, the audio is detected but no video output from the Video out RCA jack)
