Have samsung dvd sh893m all though followed instructions from both dvd & sky manual cannot get signal from digi box ?

open the sh893m than get the hdd and reformat it when done put it back in the sh893m make sure u have a dvd+r with the latetst firmware on it so that the software can be rewritten

usually a surge like that can damage the circuitry

you can get the manual right here: http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_mdl_cd=DVD-SH893M%2fXEU&srchword=DVD-SH893M

Multi-AV SCART adaptors with Input/Output signal switch (gold & nickel). A common misconception among game console owners is such connectors will allow RGB quality, while they are only CVBS and S-Videocompliant. THESE CAN BE USED FOR NON HD DEVICES SUCH AS YOUR DVD-VCR, AND SKYTOP BOX YOUR TV WILL HAVE AT LEAST 1 OF THE YELLOW WHITE RED COMPOSITE CONNECTION

hello firstly scart lead from sky box to tv1 in) this is at the top there are two AV inputs ,,,on the bottom AV slot this is where your DVD conects too).iff you are using sky you will not need aerial in back of tv as this is for analogue use such as indoor antenna or outdoor antenna or iff using horizon the scart lead will suffice for all goodluck

> digi box (?)
Is this digital converter?
Your new TV doesn't need it but it could well work with your DVR. It wouldn't give you the benefit of HD recording but with it, you could convert the digital signal into analog and record the results.

if you connect the dvd to the tv using scart socket 2 (av2) it should send a signal to the dvd, depending on the make/model of tv, you also may have to set the av2 output in the menu.
Alternativly, connect the sky to the dvd input and the dvd output to the tv, this should also work.May have to watch the tv with the dvd on set to av.

Hi Martin,

A wiring Schematic is not that you should be looking. What you need is large feeders to understand hot to connect to various ports to give your desired output.

Check connections, cables, settings and read both the instruction manual's troubleshooting section.

Sounds like the DVDR is recording from the digi-box through the TV, so when the TV is switched of or into standby the signal is lost, causing the recorder to pause.

Assuming the digi-box has two scart sockets, connect as follows:

• Scart 1 or TV scart of the digi-box to the TV.
• Scart 2 or VCR/DVD scart of the digi-box to scart 1 of the DVDR3380.

The TV aerial should already be connected through the digi-box and DVDR3380 to the TV

To record from the digi-box, select AV1 / E1 / EXT1 on the DVDR3380
