I have antenna tv. My tv is digital. Can I use this to record tv show on a DVD?
832021
Yes. A blank DVD must be loaded in the machine (there is no buffer / harddrive for storage). Program as you would a regular video recorder. Or press record to start recording immediately.
832022
Yes, you can. This unit only records when there is a DVD in the drive bay-I originally thought there was a hard drive to buffer the recording; there is not. Great unit, have using ours for a couple of years.
832023
Yes you can . This unit is digital as well and you can use it for your tv turner. P.s. I have had a new issue. Tv channels and shows know about these recorders and they are putting show type of digital signal that wont allow you to record all show. It happen to me watching welcome back cotter. , Family ties, the cosby show but most tv shows are record-able.

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!

I have a digital cable box and it only records to the channel that I select. On my Toshiba, there is no choice to choose which station to record. Whatever station is selected on the TV, it records. Hope this helps. roger

All I know is you can record your movie to your DVD recorder if your have an output jack in your TV that you can plug-in to the input jack of your DVD recorder. There is also another way, if you have a device that produces your movie, instead of plugging the OUTPUT cable to your TV INPUT jack, plug it in to your DVD recorders INPUT jack and then from the OUTPUT jack of your DVD recorder connect it to the INPUT jack of your TV. Hope this will help.

Absolutely. I have two DVD Recorders/players hooked up to it to record multiple shows at the same time on different networks using the two HDMI inputs. (The DVD recorders each have digital tuners in them, of course) What is nice is being able to toggle inputs to the TV with the remote. Couldn't be happier with my hook-up.

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

Short answer, yes. Just connect the recorder to the box by a cable. Most boxes have several outputs. You can connect the recorder to the box, then to the TV (i.e., have the recorder in series with the TV), or put the recorder and the TV onto separate box outputs (parallel connection). If you have a DVR, you can record from the DVR onto a DVD also.

The unit should record the show from the original broadcast and it should play back exactly how it was recorded.I don't believe this unit has any extra "features." Leave those up to your TV.

You can record if you receive your TV signal from an antenna and you can record on a VHS from the DVD player.

YES!! I've done it with my Hi-8 video tapes. It was very simple, attaching the output from the video camera to the input on the DVD recorder. First time I tried, I forgot to select the setting for the source, and ended up with a little TV recording, but once I corrected my problem, it went very smoothly.

To record from an off-air or cable signal, you will need an external piece of equipment with a built-in tuner (cable, satellite, or off-air converter box). No tuner means there is absolutely no antenna hookup in the unit. Although you can connect more than device to the unit, the way the DVD burner works means you can only record one channel at a time, just like an old-fashioned VCR. If two shows you've scheduled overlap, the one that starts first gets priority. There are other, more expensive units that do have tuners, but all of them are going to be limited to one channel at a time. That's just the limitations of the technology.

I don't know if it will work on a digital TV. You can record from TV to the VCR.

Only if your TV Has Audio and Video outputs. Most New TV's don't. You can record from DVR or Cable box outputs Video R and L audio. That's what I do. Some still have Svideo outputs use this first Peter better Video. Peter

Yes, you can record to either a DVD disc or to the built in hard drive. I have been recording to the hard drive exclusively since I don't want permanent copies. I just erase the shows after I watch them. I recommend using the HQ option when recording for best quality. If you do decide to make a permanent copy you can dub to a DVD from the hard drive. You can go to the Magnavox web site and download the free users manual. That will answer all your questions.

To record shows you will need a VCR or DVD recorder or a DVR. You plug the antenna into one of those and your recorder to the TV with RCA cables

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.

If you don't have a cable or satellite receiver and are receiving your tv signals with an antenna, you either have a tv with a digital tuner or a separate digital tuner/ converter box connected to your tv. If you're using a digital converter box from your antenna to the tv, connect the outputs from the digital converter box into the inputs of Toshiba DR430 Recorder and then connect the outputs of the recorder to the TV inputs. You will be connecting from the video (yellow jack), audio (red & white jacks) to the same colored jacks in & out from the Toshiba DVD Recorder to an input on the TV. If you're not using a digital converter box already for your local stations, you will have to buy one to connect to the Toshiba Recorder to record local shows because the recorder does not have a tuner in it. You can buy them for about $30 bucks at Wal-Mart or Radio Shack. I gave you a lot of information but it's easy to setup. They can guide you at Radio Shack. I have one box hooked just this way and it works fine. Hope this was of help.
