If that is the case you either have to operate the machines using buttons on their front panels or cover the window of the infra red sensor on the device you don't want to react.

When the machine connected to your TV sees the infra-red command it may switch off its external input so you can only see what it is doing. In that case when you use the remote for the broken machine both machines react. It is possible that the two devices use the same remote control codes. Also, weirdly, both remote controls operated only the machine connected to the TV. All the TV showed was the blank disk I wanted to use to record on. I couldn't call up and select the items I wanted to record (from the broken machine) because they didn't display on the TV. I'll sleep on it and try again in the morning.
Would it be much the same procedure? And would the data format then be compatible so I could actually watch what I recover? To be honest I'd prefer not to go taking things apart if I can possibly avoid it, though. Wouldn't one of them have to be "In"?Īs for Plan B, I did get the hard drive out of a laptop once to transfer the data to a desktop PC. I didn't think that would work because both DVDs have HDMI "OUT" slots. I'll have another go tomorrow and maybe try HDMI. But then I couldn't call up and select the items I wanted to record (from the broken machine) because they didn't display on the TV. I tried connecting the machines to each other by Scart and connecting the recording machine to the TV. I think your first suggestion is what I've done so far. Of course, if transferring the data directly isn't possible, no worries - I just thought asking was worth a try. For what it's worth, my elderly laptop (Toshiba circa 2006) probably couldn't cope with too much right now, although a new laptop is on my shopping list for later in the year, so any tips won't be completely in vain. I wouldn't mind hooking a computer up somehow, if that's the only option, but I'd need pretty precise instructions - I am in no way competent enough with technology to run any type of media server and save live TV directly to a computer (that's why I bought the DVD recorder in the first place!).
Is there in fact a solution that I've overlooked in my technical ineptness? (Given the number of times Tatort repeats are on each week, my DVD collection is growing at an alarming rate, so I'd be grateful for an alternative)

Google and the instruction manual suggest this doesn't work with my recorder model - you can play files from an SD drive or USB stick *onto* the machine, but the reverse isn't true. However, I've been wondering if it's also possible to get saved programmes directly from the HDD to an external hard drive/USB stick/other media format, or if I have to burn to DVD and then rip the files back again. I've had a Panasonic DVD recorder/HDD (DMR EX93C) for a bit over a month, and have been happy with both the recording function and burning to DVD.
