Turn on device. Push in mode. This will change to picture only. Then press mode again. It will display the recorded folders if different years, etc.Now use the circle (ok) button to click to the saved videos. Then click down or up to get into one of the videos, it will preview it for you then.

The night vision is very good. As far as the playback, I haven't tried that yet. We had to send back the original DVR because one of the channels didn't work. We just got the new one back. Hope that helps!

I haven't even been able to get the darn thing to record. The directions are pretty much non-existent. Any tips?

In response to Joshua's comment, see my earlier comment about installing the software disc and then uninstalling the lousy software. I use Vuescan from Hamrick software.

You should check that the component out (three RCA cables for video plus 2 for sound) from the cable box works for all channels (esp premium). Your TV should have a component input so get some RCA cables and go straight from cable box to TV with component and flip through all the channels. If that works you should be good to go. Also note that HD DVR has an "IR Blaster" to send remote signals to the cable box to turn it on and change channels. it all should work fine but can be slightly annoying to setup.

You MUST have an SD memory card installed, not bigger than 32 Geg. Press "Menu", then either "Vol" button until you see "Video Player", press and hold Both Vol up and Vol Down, 3 seconds. Should get a second menu, scroll to "DV" press "OK". you will see what the camera is looking at for 10 sec., then it goes into record (blue dot in upper right corner). Hope that helps. Jack

I had the same problem. I could not get it to work, I gave up and purchased ProShow Producer 5 (very easy to use and it's awesome!)

Richard,I have the same problem with mine and the only way I was able to fix it is to remove the battery. Also make sure you format the SD card which I have done when the screen goes black and the unit turn off. Read more about the problem in this website. Lots of information regarding dash cam. http://dashcamtalk.com/I ended up buying a G1W and been very happy with it. It is cheaper than the DVR207.

plugged my in and it automatically set itself up. I have Win 7 ultimate. My cam worked fine right from the start. Good luck

I use this on disk station and it works fine for me ( surveillance station ) you'll need to set to generic onvif and manually enter compression, resolution, and frame rate to get the most out of the camera

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.

I purchased a Toshiba dvd/vcr combination recorder/ player. It is model # DVR670KU. I have never been able to get it to work. I have a Sony LCD Digital Color TV (Bravia). Even the cable guy could not get it to work. I bought it on Ebay (first mistake) and they would not take it back. I have had it 2 years and yet to get it to record or play a dvd. What am I doing wrong.

I would suggest you either have a bad cae or box. I have the unit and it works with both my dtv dvr and roku box with both sound and video no problems. I would check each cable by bypassing the box, and direct connecting first. If both cables are good the wire the box with the out going to the tv and inputs 1-5 going to your device. if the output is still either or then rma the box.

I had the same issues. And as soon as the warranty went out the DVR went out as well!! I had noted all of this on my review!!
