The player will always try to play via HDMI even though it can't so the only way to access all features is via SCART (you must unplug the HDMI cable). 3) The final point here is that it does not have a recordable DVD drive. It only has playback option but not DVD or BluRay record This is nice in theory but it misses a couple of key points: 1) The YouTube functionality with the newest firmware (7) is broken so it returns the error “network congestion” even when other features (like firmware updates) work.
