Am I right in thinking you intent to connect a RGB only source (the Spectrum NEXT) via a VCR? I don't think this will work. As far as I'm aware, VCR's only accept composite video via the SCART, in which case you won't get anything to display. You would need a modulator that accepts RGB, either a modern one, or something like the ones used on the Amstrad CPC or the Amiga.
