Very simply put, In Germany they use the same tv system as us (pal) that is why the picture is OK but the sound is slightly different, I believe ours is offset by 5.5 mcs and there's is 6 mcs, So if you are trying to record terrestial tv that is why it doesn't work but if you have the recorder connected to a Sky reciever or anything with a scart output and record though this it should then be OK as you are recording direct.

Actually it's the otherway round.

UK, Pal I sound is offset by 6Mhz.
Most of Europe, Pal B/G and / or Pal B/H is offset by 5.5Mhz.
