Bravia TV with Panasonic DVD/VHS recorder

[thistle60]

I have a Sony Bravia KDL-26P2530 which is showing all of the digital TV stations perfectly. I've connected a Panasonic DMR-EZ47V DVD/VHS recorder to the television using a 21 pin scart cable. When I play a tape or DVD, the television shows no picture although the sound is fine. Not sure what else I need to do - is there some other connection/cable/device I should be using? If anyone can offer advice, I'd be really grateful. Also, if replies could be written 'for a dummy' that would be even better!  Thnak you in advance
