I'm not familiar with model numbers but if your machine is a DVD recorder, then yes, it will burn from TV and from VHS tape.I have a Panasonic and it works great.

Yes, I use these discs for recording from my tv often...I have a Sony video recorder..And I use them over and over again.

Yes, you can record video or music on them. You can also erase and record something else on them.

I don't think you can. I looked at mine, and I did not see anything on there that said DVR - for Record. But a note, I quit using the VCR a few months in because it starting eating tapes. I only use it for DVD's.

It depends on the VHS tape. A copy-protected tape will not record to any disk correctly.

You didn't look at the manual did you? There is a page on the DVD's that this Toshiba will record on, unfortunately it's very few. Really to record you have to find disks that are cprm compatible. I emailed TDK about which of their dvd disks that are cprm compatible, and they told me they don't sell them in the US, only in europe or outside of the US. the movie and music industry has clamped down on people copying their media. Go to your electronics store and see how many DVD RECORDERS they have. You won't find many, players yes but not recorders. Even with such disks I tried to copy a movie from one of the premium channels and on the tv screen, it said it would not copy. Ten years ago it worked, not anymore.

Yes you can. I have this unit and Verizon cable. I record tapes of TV programs on cable all the time. Also I can record tapes from DVDs in this unit . No external DVD player needed.

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.

These tapes will not function in a VCR. They are for use in an audio cassette recorder/player.

I would like to ask the same question as "nature enthusiast" that is - I want to do is transfer VHS tapes to DVDs. Consumer Reports said this model "allows you to copy with a simple push of the record button." True. The answers already received are all conflicting, half say yes half say no. Please answer this ? only if you actually know for certain, Thank you !

You can, but keep in mind that many commercially released VHS tapes were manufactured with "copy guard" protection that prevents copying. You can't copy those. If you are going to copy non-protected tapes such as those you recorded off of TV, you should have no problem.

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.

The duplicator cannot convert video cassette format to dvd. If the conversion has already been made and you have the disc on hand then it can be copied by the duplicator. Thanks Copystars support team

Sorry, I never tried that. I used it for copying VHS that I recorded myself to DVDs. But I was VERY disappointed that it would not record from my DVR, refusing to "make more than the limit of 1 copy". The VHS is broken now, will play but not record. So I only use it to play DVD's.

Yes, I've used it to copy from a vcr. You probably can't copy copyright protected tapes though. The software with the unit should work to make a dvd disc.

My Toshiba DR560 only plays DVDs, it doesn't record. I have 2 older DVD recorders with digital tuners that can be programmed to record on DVDs for any time, day or night, whether I am home or not home. Once programmed, they are turned off and they start and stop automatically based on the start & stop times you programmed them for, recording quality, channel, etc. Please note: I have only "antenna TV". I don't have cable, dish, etc. TV. I use my recorders to record programs that I receive with my antenna from local TV stations. I don't know how a DVD recorder with a digital tuner would work on a cable, dish, etc., setup. Hope that helps...?

Absolutely. You can play either vhs tapes or dvd's. You can also copy vhs to dvd and dvd to vhs. Most important, you can copy MOST of your commercial vhs tapes to dvd. Bear in mind, these tapes are breaking down. You want to copy them as soon as you can. I was able to copy all of mine except for Miramax and Disney. There were a few other brands here and there, but most of mine copied.

I don't believe you can. I had 2 of these VCR"s and they never worked properly. They always ate the tapes and sounded watery.I ended up buying a Toshiba and haven't had a problem in years, but it does not record video to DVD.That feature would be in a model costing a few hundred dollars.
