Hi Jacqueline. Well I had the same problem as well! Actually bought two of them. It was the first time I bought used/very good as I usually buy new. I would say that's why it doesn't work. Don't know all the details obviously but, hey, it doesn't work and that's all that matters. See about getting your $ back and buy NEW. Good luck!

Maybe you need to clean the DVD player. Possibly the disc itself is scratched too.

Hello Prof-I just got my dr-570 and if you check the instruction book I believe you will find the answer. I plan on transferring vhs tape to dvd someday...Mike

This happened to me as well, when trying to play a home-burned DVD-R on an older Sony DVD player. Many of the players that are more than about 5 years old don't seem to recognize DVD-R burned discs, only commercial "pressed" DVDs. The only thing I was able to do was buy an inexpensive newer DVD player (I got a new Sony player for about $40) and it plays all of my home-burned discs just fine.

I have the yellow disc and mine works. I'm using windows 7 and had to download drivers. Mine was a FAKE Easycap by the way. It only works using the VCR to DVD software provided, and then if you begin the vhs tape before opening the software. You can then rewind to where you want to begin, etc. and it works great. It wasn't worth returning for the price I paid so I kept playing with it until I figured it out. Hope this helps!

I noticed you received an answer about recording in the DVD mode before I responded about recording on the VHS mode. For any number of reasons, often my own difficulty with DVDs, I've snafued numerous times on that mode -- thus often staying with the VHS. I believe, from my experience only, you'll more likely get a recording of your game on VHS, but since you likely have time before the game, experiment with both recording modes to be sure that once you've set it and 'forget it' -- you'll have a pretty good chance of recording your game.

You need some way to kill the write protect either by a "Macrovision Killer" or a digital converter. It will not Dub as I hoped it would. I have not tried to copy a protected VHS through the PC yet.

If you are trying to copy a retail VHS movie that has macro-vision copy protection to a DVD on a stand alone DVD recorder, then, yes this will allow you to make the copy. The condition of the VHS tape you want to copy needs to be good otherwise you may have problems getting started. The DVD recorder only looks for the copy protection when you first start the recording. If everything is OK then it will continue to record until you stop it. (most of the time) Good Luck

I have that 6 hour "cat sitter video" vhs tape from 1999 and I have not found one to match it as it is one that keeps my brood calm all day while I was at work. So how does this dvd play over and over if you are not there to restart? My vhs is starting to drag and Radio Shack wants a $100 plus to put it on DVD and it would be on 4 DVDs not like one VHS tape.

You are so welcome. I have copied almost 75 vhs tapes and haven't had a single problem. The downside is that when I start the movie, I end up stopping what I am doing so I can watch it while it records. Have fun!

To me, that VCR plays only NTSC (U.S, Canada, Mexico, Japan, etc). It did not play my PAL VHS (common in Europe,Asia, and Africa). Sadly, the return policy from the seller was not fair to me since I would lose more money if I decided to do so. Uselessly, I ended up to keep it. Good luck!

No, unfortunately it does not. Quite often, leaps in technology leave a lot to be desired. Lots of good VHS players sitting on shelves collecting dust because many of the TV's don't have enough inputs; or the inputs require a MIDI cable.

I'm sorry I don't know that. I have to play my VHS and DVD. I sorry I can't. I will look at to see and get back to you. Thank you

I am able to see video during VHS transfer to disk. I have the VHS recorder out line going into the Toshiba recorder "in" receptacle, and then an "out line" from the Toshiba to the TV. check that all in and out connections are same, that is that each one is the Red, White, and Yellow RCA plugins for example. Also the Yellow video out and in on the Toshiba recorder is separated from the red an white audio in and outs. And of course check that you are picking the correct "video input" channel on your TV (that matches the number or letter where the Toshiba is plugged into the TV)

I just tranferred 5 hours of VHS tapes (3 tapes) to a Memorex DVD+R DL 2.4X disc with a Sony RDR-VX521 COMBO. The RDR-VX521 can play all three selections, but the Sony DVPCX995V cannot play the stuff on the second layer. This leads me to believe that it will play DL's as long as you don't need to access the second layer.

Not really sure, but my wife plays some older DVD's from time to time and it always works.

make sure the reciever has been set to "component input" for the DVD input. You can find this in the setup screen for the reciever. It may be set to HDMI and therefore does not know to search for signal on the component inputs.
