If you have a digital (Freeview) tv, then (unless your DVD recorder is also a Freeview tuner) you MUST have the tv on to record. As for set up, I'm at a loss to advise, as this would be down to makes and models involved. I would assume - given that both are fairly modern - each has an on screen help/guide to enable you to set it up. Most recorders these days seem to be plug in and play with auto set up.

However, one thing I do know, you need to connect the two using a scart lead via your AV sockets.

You need to set the recorder to record from its AV -in socket

Yes, that's right. You need to have the DVD recorded and the TV set connected by a SCART lead that does TWO-WAY communication, then the DVD recorded can record what the TV is receiving when you set the DVD input to 'AV'.
