Sorry to say that I ended up taking this beast to an electronic recycling station. It was a piece of junk. I have found most VHS/DVR units to be troublesome.

The simple answer is "yes" -- the more complex answer is : Its not like your old VHS player/recorder that would start and stop at a preset time. You have to record a program manually, but if you have a sat or cable box that will do that then you can record a program and make the copy later. If you a going to be there when the program is on tv, then you can record directly to the DR430. Hope this is clear.

Ita, I am sorry I can't answer your question since it has been too many years since I owned that Magnavox unit. I looked at the specifications for the unit and it looks like it should record your video tapes to the DVR disks. If you have any DVR disks you might give it a try and so what happens.

Be sure you have a recorder that can use +R media first. Some recorders only work with -R media. Also be sure you DVD recorder can burn to Double Layer discs (the DL in the name.) These hold as much as a standard DVD you might rent or buy from the store, so I typically would not put HD content on them anyway. One of these discs recorded with content will play just fine in MOST standard DVD players. I say MOST as occasionally I have found a player that does not like to play -R or +R home recorded material. Hope this helps.

Yes, it can record a tv show onto a vhs tape as I do that all the time. You just have to be sure it is set on the channel of the show you are taping. I don't think you can copy a vhs tape to dvd but am not sure. I couldn't find any instructions in the book that comes with it.

'Unfortunately' ...I had to return the toshiba dkr40 dvd recorder for a refund, because of problems connecting it to my tv set... I now have a Magnavox HDD DVD-DVR it is the Best! ... ,but if you go to Toshiba website and email them your question, I hope they can answer it ?...LOL...

If it is like the one I have; it is only a player; I think you can record from the tv to a vhs tape; I am not sure; try it and see what happens; but I have only used mine for a player.

i had no problem with name brand blank dvd-r. the unit will not record from a dvr----which made the unit useless to me. it will record direct from a broadcast, but not after it has been recorded on a dvr. it will not copy dvd's with copy guard. you have to buy a program from england if you wish to do that and it costs about 60-70 dollars and works well. I hope this is of some help to you.

did this work? do you have to have the digital video stabilizer to record an old VHS movie onto DVD?

I've been able to read dvd & cd-r disks and cd-rw disks. Having trouble trying to record on cd-r but not cd-rw.

I'm not sure. I did not have mine long enough to try that. If you try it & it does could you tell me? The recorders that I've seen other folks use will record it from a DVR, but it's not 720 or 1080. It's only 480( standard def).

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.

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.

You can record with either the vcr or the dvd mode and you can record your vcr tapes onto dvd discs.. For months, I was using it for only vcr recording, and then decided to catch up with the times and bought some dvd-rw dics. I love the dvd recording now that I'm using it. The only down side, that I see is that you have to re-format the dvd discs before recording again and it takes a while to initialize when you insert the disc in the machine.

The manual only shows instructions for recording to the vcr. I would say no.
