Hi Sydney,Yes. You can use these blank DVD-Rs to record your videos and audio sources onto.

I really don't know. I use the DVD+R to record items off my ROKU For that it works fine

I tried to record using a Sony DVD+R DL disc but it ran out of space after 2 hours. Sony says that this disc is not compatable with the DVDirect VRD-MC5 (although the manual indicates otherwise) and I should use a Verbatim disc, which I haven't tried yet.

FYIThe Toshiba DR400 manual says it will record content at the correct (source) aspect on DVD-RW but "always at 4:3 on DVR+RW/ +R."Go figure. Might be something to look into.

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.

Yes, you can use +RW, -RW dvd's. Itvdoes not have a tuner, so you have to use the rca video from a tv tuner to the input of this recorder.

I am certainly no expert on this subject; I only know there are machine specific requirements: I own a DVD recorder that allows me to edit the commercials from TV shows I record. In order to do this I must use -RW discs.I also have a DVD duplicator with which I can make copies of personally recorded home videos. This machine requires me to record the master copy on +RW format.

Absolutely! Remember though that the real beauty of these machines is that you can record on vhs and then dub to dvd. For example, I regularly record to vhs and then burn to dvd movies and series I want to keep. DVD-R units will let you capture and hold a movie/show/whatever for as long as you like, but you cannot transfer that recording to a permanent source. On these units, you can record and then burn to the more stable medium, dvd. However, you can record to vhs and then play it. Remember, anything you do on tape is in real-time, so you can watch it as well as burn it to dvd.

Yes, the unit accepts most common recordable DVD media. You may record directly to DVD or dub from the HDD of previously recorded items.

If you plug the HDMI cable into the converter box downstairs and then plug the DVD recorder in using the composite output from the converter and composite inputs to the recorder, you should be able to record.

After checking the instruction book, I don't think it's possible but I'm no expert. There's no DVD player or recorder on this.I also have a Magnavox HDD & DVD Recorder with digital tuner. That one would be able to record to the HDD.

liteon.com use to have free downloads for their dvd recorders not certain if they still do. Occasionally you will see owners manual for sale on Amazon or eBay.

yes, you can record to a DVD with either the set time program feature or by just clicking 'record'. There are two buttons, one for HDD which records to an internal hard disk and one for DVD which records to a DVD disk. You can also dub a show you recorded in the HDD mode on to a DVD. It's a pretty cool set up and I like it better than my cable company's DVR box because it will record something like 100+ hours on the HDD mode so you are not having to always delete a show for space. You need to set up the DVD function to finalize the show you recorded so it can be played on any DVD player. I set mine up to do this automatically which is very simple. The instruction book is easy to understand. Don't forget to take the plastic protective skin off of the remote, it isn't very apparent and it is hard to read the writing on it if you don't remove it.

Yes when you are in "VR" mode...not "video" recording mode for DVD-RW and DVD+RW disks. I just did it using a -RW formated in VR. RP

Standard Def only. I don't believe an HDTV DVD recorder exists, at the consumer level anyway. That would be too nice, but probably way too expensive too!

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