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.

I'm sorry. I don't know. I bought this item as a gift for someone else, so I don't know how it works.

Hi LindaAfter suffering for 6 months I have given up. Nothing I have done works. I do have the vcr/dvd hooked up so I can view tapes/dvds; however no recording. And what is real weird; on occasion, my tape recording blacks out and says no signal. If this is just a tape, why is that? The TV does not black out. UGH

Yes, that is how I'm using it. Obviously, when you dub vhs to dvd, it is of no use, as the copying doesn't go through the jacks, rather it is done internally. But, you can record to the DVD from a protected source and it works fine.

Wendy, I asked my hubby as I had bought for him. He said I should tell you when we had a problem putting VHS on DVD as it was suppose to do, he could not find anyone to look at it let alone fix it. That said, he also says no, it doesn't record without and external digit tuner. He really is NOT happy with the entire unit and Toshiba. He still gets upset thinking I wasted my money on it and it was the one he wanted.

If the machine can play the VHS tape, it can record it on DVD. If you can buy a DVD of the copy-protected item for a reasonable price, you're probably going to be happier with the result. The system has operated quite satisfactorily for all the transfers I've done.

This was purchased by me for my mom so she was the primary user. I was under the impression that you could record VHS over to a DVD. From the product description directly:*One-touch/programmable recording and playback of DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW formats and VHS cassette; dubbing from DVD to tape and vice versa. So, you can do both. Tape to DVD and DVD to tape.

you probably need software to convert vhs to dvd files in order to burn them on to discs

You can't record with a DVD player. Try one of the excellent DirecTV DVR's for excellent quality recordings.

Does your HDTV have an HDMI out port or at least component cables to hook up to the input of the DVD recorder? I doubt it does so it is highly unlikely that you could record from the TV. In order to be able to record anything you need an input source that has its own tuner, or cancels the need for a tuner, as this recorder does not have one built in, but without some type of input source there will be nothing for the recorder to record

ok, question that will reveal how little i know about this. you mentioned recording to DVD. Can a DVD recorder record over the air broadcasts? can you set it to record at certain times, the way you would a VCR? And can you re-record over the dvds or do you have to keep buying them? (the advantage of vhs.)thanks!

Yes, you can record anything to either DVD or VCR.I have been using it to copy VCR tapes to DVD. Works very well

It all depends on which VHS-DVD recoder you have. here is a list fom their website, of those VHS-DVD recorders they know will work! Take a look, and if you find your model recorder, and click on it, there will be a drawing showing you how to hook up http://www.xdimax.com/grex/grex.html#CMP

I suggest you contact Amazon right away! Inform them of your problem & they should refund your full purchase. They did for me & told me to just keep the product or throw it out.If you still want to convert your old videos, I'd suggest checking the Honestech VHS to DVD package. I eventually went with it from Amazon. Unfortunately you just missed a Gold Box deal a few days ago, but it's the best & easiest to use that I could find. Even at regular price it;s still a good deal. Good Luck & repost when you succeed. Mike

I have not done so personally, But I believe you can do that with any vhs/dvd machine So long as you have it connected properly. You have to be sure that your DVR gets connected to the VHS/DVD player, Then you should be able to record onto a VHS tape, not a DVD cuz it's not a burner. Hope that helps.

Yes you can record directly to a DVD. Or if you wish first to HDD, edit it, and then copy to DVD.

I am sorry I cannot help you. I still cannot figure out how to record and have it play on another dvd player...ugh!

Hi Sandy. I bought this as a refurbished machine to attempt to convert my dad's old video camera recordings to DVD. I plugged the camcorder cable into the front input of the DVD recorder, and it worked perfectly. I made a set of DVDs for my mom and brother for Christmas that year. The only inputs on this DVD recorder are the S-video or the component (red, yellow, green), so as long as your VCR will plug into either of those, it should work as well as mine did. Good luck!
