Yes, it can record a tv show onto a vhs tape as I do that all the time. You just have to be sure it is set on the channel of the show you are taping. I don't think you can copy a vhs tape to dvd but am not sure. I couldn't find any instructions in the book that comes with it.

It's the dvd recording technology -R was developed by Pioneer the other by DVD Forum long time ago it mattered what equipment you had whether it was for -R or +R but now the machines (computers dvd recorders etc) can record & play back any of the two, same quality same speed, myself I've used both nowadays i go for the cheaper one, hopefully I've answered your question.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.

No, it can only be done with an external tuner, after many internet searches by me and two stores that sell this I find no such tuners. I returned mine to the seller for a refund. What you have is a VHS/DVD player only, not a Recorder.

Yes, for sure, I would recommend that you aquire an owner's manual, if you don't already have one. By using the dubbing funtion on the remote/machine, you can very easily record dvd's to vhs tapes, and, also vhs tapes to dvd's. Get yourself an owner's manual, online, or at your favorite electronics store, the instructions for these operations are fully explained. I hope this has been some help to you.

Sorry to say that I ended up taking this beast to an electronic recycling station. It was a piece of junk. I have found most VHS/DVR units to be troublesome.

I have a dvr through directv. I'm thinking about getting this toshiba dvd recorder. Let me make sure I understand... If I have a show recorded on my dvr, I can then record it to a dvd in my dvd recorder? But while the dvr'ed show is being recorded to dvd, I cannot watch a different show? Is this correct?? Thank you anyone for your help. I have some shows that have been on my dvr for a long time now that I occasionally like to rewatch and would much rather have them on dvd so hopefully this toshiba dvd recorder is what I need.

Yes, you can record to VHS or DVD. This is not a DVR so there is no internal hard drive to record to. There is only composite and s-video inputs on the machine which have a maximum video resolution of 480i; make sure your video output source corresponds for the best picture.

I have done several recording from vhs to dvd without any problems so maybe if you could provide me a few more details I could steer you in the right direction. The instruction manual is quite complicated and it is easy to miss a important step so tell me what you did any I'll try and sort out the problem. If you have the instruction manual list the steps found in it so I can be sure you are doing the right things.

Hi Robert! I haven't had any problems recording from my cable box. I've recorded digital stations, premium and even On-Demand with this unit. Yep, recorded 3 shows ON-Demand! The D-r400 is awesome! I'm using composite, because my cable box does not have an S-Video Connection. Picture is great and I wasn't sure it would be, although I'm not using this on an HDTV. I have read that some people have problems, depending on their cable provider. If your provider will not allow recording of these stations due to copyright, then it may not work for you. Most have not had a problem, which is why this unit has become so popular. Just make sure you hook up your unit to the cable box. The D-r400 doesn't have coaxial, so you need to use RCA audio/video cables. Follow the instructions on the manual for cable/satellite installation and you'll be fine.

I bought this to record from my DVR box. Can't seem to convert what I've recorded on the DVR to Sony disc. Any help

Yes. Recording to VHS requires a converter box if your signal source is an over-the-air antenna (the DVD side of this unit is play-only).

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

Mine is connected directly to the TV, don't even have cable! So I guess the answer would be "no". Just don't expect the VHS recorder to last longer than a couple months.

Hello Prof-I just got my dr-570 and if you check the instruction book I believe you will find the answer. I plan on transferring vhs tape to dvd someday...Mike

no, only to VHS, and that's not even reliable. Mine would quit recording before the programmed stop time, and this was when it was still pretty much brand new. (within 2-3 months)
