Hi Adrian,

Sounds to me like you are trying to record NTSC output on a PAL VCR.

The VCR may be able to play NTSC tapes or display the incoming NTSC signal
but it may not be able to lay the signal down on tape.

If it is possible to change that dip to PAL your problem may disappear.

Good luck

Paul
