As far as I know, DVR video formats are not playable on anything other than the recording device or a computer. Copy the DVR files onto a computer first, convert the video to a more common video format, then burn that file on a DVD.

Try a different input on ur DVR that you know works correctly. If it still does not show color, u have a defective unit as the night/low light feature is automatic. These cameras are built very well and I have had no problems so far.

The dvr you choose must have the ability to record sound. The unit is wired and coax cabling must be routed to your DVR. If this answer doesn't help you entirely; just ask another question & you shall get more help ASAP...take care

Thanks for your reply. I've had mine for a little over 2 weeks and I'm able to record everything off the DVR. I had to call Toshiba twice because I didn't know what I was doing. Their customer service was incredible!! I will definitely buy Toshiba products again.Just wondering... why would you use DVD+R disks? Am I correct that those cannot be used again? I've used DVD+RW.One more question... is there a way to delete shows that are on the DVD without formatting the disk? Like if I have watched some shows but not others and I want to record more.Thanks for your help Thanks for your reply.

You will need a usb DVR dongle. It will be a USB that has rca connectors on it.

I do not see a device or cord but.. you cannot record your DVDs onto a DVR. This is a battle that has gone on for years. there may be illegal means or very expensive means but no general CE product, utilized for recording off air, can record DVDs

The problem is probably signal detection by either your tv or cable box. In newer electronics they use DLNA which means that all your electronics recognize each other's circuitry. Since this device is intended to merely be an analog re-route, chances are that this feature is more than this device is actually able to do. I was hoping that it would be have been able to recognize my DVR also, but depending on the models that you're using some cable or satellite providers may be able to furnish you the component that it is compatible with your set up. But as anything it may cost you. I went to my local electronics store and that was the answer I received from the technician. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask. Thanks.

Hi,I assume you are trying to record the VCR to the DVD recorder. There is a yellow (composite) video OUT on the VCR, plug that to the grex IN, then the grex OUT plug into the DVD recorder source IN. Then set your DVD recorder to the source IN you plugged in and record. The DVD recorder HDMI to TV has no purpose in the recording, only for watching the recording so it's fine.

plug and play streaming from your network: try MyHD Media Player Recorder :) I've gone through 3 different models of D-link players and while they make good modems and such... their players don't cut it. have you tried converting any of your dvd's to divx? assuming you even get it to work, can you even say the quality is the same?

Thanks. That answers my question about recording off the TV. Do you know if we can view/play VHS tapes using the Toshiba DVR610? Other people have written saying that they haven't been able to do so. Thank you.

What did you plug the HD into? It does not plug into the PC so I'm not sure why you referenced your PC. The Zmodo DVR works independent of a PC and the HD is installed into the DVR itself.

HELP!I assumed that when I purchased this Toshiba that it would hook up the same as my old DVD recorder {which was hit by lightening} to my Dish receiver and TV.HOWEVER it does not. The audio and video cords work the same but my old SV2000 had a connection of coaxial cable both to the TV and to the Dish receiver and this Toshiba has no place for either.What can I do?I don't know anything about these tech things but I thought someone might if you can help me please.I called Dish Network for tech support but they were not much help.They said I need to call Toshiba support but I do not find any number to call.

Does anyone know how to record programs from a DVR cable box (like TIVO)? Im not sure if I need a DV cable or if it can't be done.

The device connects/talks to the computer via ethernet cable. Simply download the software and drivers and then follow steps in the digital manual to change your ip settings. Record to hard drive using usb 2.0 or 3.0. I ended up returning mine as it was a bit glitchy. Also you can't use any hdmi cables longer than 10 feet. Device wont recognize the signal through hdmi cables any longer than that. Tried signal boosters but did not work either. If using hdmi you will need to buy an hdmi to sdi converter for about 300. Will need one for every hdmi input longer than 10ft. You would run the sdi out into to the blackmagic switcher. Not too bad for the price but not great either in my opinion.

Make sure your drivers are installed and that you are not trying to hook it up through the hdmi. Other than that I guess boot up the aver media program and makes sure the device is selected at the top left hand corner and select video input yPbPr and make sure it is hooked up through the component cables. Might i ask what device your are hooking it up to. Mine is hooked up to a xbox360 so idk know if trying a ps3 or dvd/ blue player is different. Hope this helps.
