Problem 1 - Unable to find an incoming Xbox 360 RCA channel from Television
If you can't find an incoming Xbox 360 RCA Channel from the television, Check all required cables are connected tight to their plugs. If you still can't find the channel, search all TV channels to ensure that the incoming Channel is not transfered there. If you are still not able to find the channel, problem is probably in your television settings. Try to look buttons like ''av'' or ''tv''/responsible to ensure that the incoming channel is not one of the special channels like ''AV1'' If you can't anyway find the channel, try to find it from all possible TV channels or use another cable from Xbox 360 to TV
Problem 2 - What responsible cables i can use if i don't have Scart (exit) cable?
If you don't have Scart (Exit) cable, you can use any responsible cables. Notice: Check HDMI and DVI cable compatible from below.
Problem 3 - Unable to find an incoming Xbox 360 channel from Dvd- recorder
If you can't find an incoming Xbox 360 channel from Dvd recorder, try to find an incoming channel from Television first. After you have founded the channel from Television, try to find it from Dvd recorder by following next instructions: -Check all required cables are connected tight to their plugs. -Ensure that your Scart (Exit) cable is not broken or loose. Dvd recorder usually offers 5-10 channels for recording. One of them is that channel where your Xbox 360 incoming channel should be. Try to locate that channel from all available channel selections. If you can't find an incoming channel from them, check your remote control and try to find buttons like ''Exit'', ''AV'' or responsible and check is your incoming channel in one of those "Special channels" If you still can't find the channel, it is possible that your Dvd- recorder is not compatible to record an incoming Xbox 360 video format. For that problem, i can only say that you can't record, but you can search from the internet and check is your Dvd recorder compatible to record Xbox 360 video format.
Problem 4 - How to play (Xbox 360) while recording (If screen goes black etc.)
You should be able to play in Dvd recording channel, but if the screen goes black and recorder record's all the time, you just have to open Television Xbox 360 incoming channel and play your game there. Notice: It is possible that your Dvd recorder records that screen what you are looking at the moment.
Problem 5 - Wrong/Incorrect format problem
If you Dvd recorder says that the incoming Xbox 360 video format is not compatible to recorder, it is maybe possible to change incoming format (Only in expensive recorders) to compatible format. If you cant change the format, you are not able to record the gameplay with your Dvd- recorder.
Problem 6 - What kind of Dvd disc i should use for this recording?
I recommend you to use Dvd+RW (If your recorder is compatible with RW) for this recording. You can also use Dvd-RW discs, but remember that you can record to Dvd minus (Dvd-) discs only once, so choose carefully and in the beginning, use DVD+ discs that you can clean the disc if all goes wrong.
Problem 7 - Do i choose Timer record, straight record or what?
To record Xbox 360 gameplay, i recommend to start recording straight without timer settings. But, You can also set timer to record gameplay in limited time. Notice: I can't ensure that the recording is working with timer recording, because all Recorders are not compatible to record with timer settings from incoming Xbox 360 channel (Wrong format or other usual problems)
Problem 8 - How about using HDMI or DVI cable for recording?
I personally recommend you to record your Xbox 360 gameplay with Scart and RCA cable to ensure that the recording is working. You can use HDMI/DVI cables for recording, but i can't ensure that it's working with them. I can only say sure that the recording is working with Scart and RCA cable and compatible Dvd recorder. But test free if you want, because if HDMI cable recording works, Video quality will be 21 times better than RCA and scart cable, and also sound will be HI-FI.
Problem 9 - Recorded video is only black and white (No colors at all or flashing colors only temporarily seem)
There can be very many reasons why the recorded video is black and white. First i recommend you to check all the cables. If it's still recording the video without colors, try to change cables (If you have other responsible cables) To ensure that the cable you're currently using is not broken. Scart cables can be broken very easily and it's best to start from it to find out if cables are broken. Thirdly i would say that: If it's still recording the video in black and white, it is possible that your dvd- recorder is not fully compatible to record that channel (Incoming Xbox 360 channel) If you see colorful flashes in the screen while playing the recorded video, i strongly recommend you to check the cables again. If there is no any colours in the video at all, it is some kind of a compatible error that can't be fixed any other way than buying a new Dvd- recorder which is compatible to record Xbox 360 video format whit the cables you have.
