Do you have your DVD/VCR connected to your television using the A/V jacks on the front of the DVD/VCR? If so, try reconnecting the A/V cables using the audio and video outputs on the back of the combo player.

I don´t really know. I do know that the machine is of use only in Region 1, i.e. within the US. Mine doesn´t do that.

I never purchased this item; I do have a "lite-on" vhs/dvd combo player. You need to be more specific w/your problem so someone who DOES know about electronics can help. Are you putting in the vhs when you get this message on your TV screen? Have you made sure the tape is re-wound? Do you have the wires connected to the right source on back of your TV? It's very difficult to help without all these questions answered first. I recommend taking it or calling a TV repair shop; they're very helpful over the phone most times; if they're not, call the next one on your phone book or PC yellow pages.

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 won't be of much help. I inherited the DVD/VCR sans remote because a roommate couldn't pay rent and I wanted to stay seated while I enjoyed his stuff. I just sat on Google until I found what I hoped would work. It was a total fingers-crossed transaction.

This has a FEMALE INPUT. You will also need a standard MALE S-Video cord to go from your VCR to this device.You will also need an RCA audio (Red and white) to 3.5mm AUX (headphone jack) cord to route the audio from your VCR to the audio input of your computer.

You have to pre-set the converter into the channel which you want to record. Then assuming your converter's A/V Out is plugged-into your VCR's A/V In, it is a simple matter of setting your VCR Input into A/V (not RF) and setting the Timer for the Time (and not Channel) of the program you want to record. Certain VCRs also have IR controllers for Cable/Sat Receiver Boxes. I am unsure if they will work for Converter Boxes; I have a Samsung Converter and DVD/VCR Player/Recorder and one cannot control the other. If your VCR has an external IR controller, try setting (coding) it up to work with your converter box, though that is doubtful. DTV line-ups have those dashes in their channels (e.g. 10-1), while VCRs only have 3-digit numerals for their channel options.

did you get it to work? if you did what software did you use? I've tried hooking my vcr up to my pc to convert old vhs tapes to digital but so far haven't been able to get it to work. I tried nch suite video capturing software.

I had the same issue on my Sony TV until I changed the TV output to 'Audio System' rather than front speakers. Have a look in your TV settings

I know this is a really old post, but this might help someone else...Just started converting old videos to dvd and had a problem with this. Figured it out though...when in dvd mode press the input select button at the top of the remote. It will go to L2 and now you can follow the directions from the manual. - Press VCR, play until you get to the point you want to record and hit pause- Press DVD- Press Dubbing

If your VHS tapes are getting old you may have problems like that. Also Head placement with "tracking" sometimes causes loss of audio and/or video.I would say the Video adapter either works or it doesn't work. The rest is either VHS Equipment of conversion software drivers. Those are my thoughts.

you would have to get some special cables to connect to your computer.mine is hooked up to the vcr.consult radioshack.they would be better able at explaining it

You need to hook it up to an external tuner, like a cable box or dish. In addition to playing and recording on VHS tapes, it also functions as a DVR, so you always have to hook it up to other stuff. If you are looking for just a VCR player/recorder, go for one that has a built in tuner. If you are looking for just a VCR player that you can hook up to your TV,look for just a VCR palyer.

I just ordered my TV so I do not have one to look at but I would guess the problem you are having has to do with trying to display the lower resolution VHS tapes on the higher resolution TV. When it tries to "upconvert" the tapes to HD, it creates all that snow you are seeing. I would look at changing the display mode on the TV so it isn't HD anymore or displays a lower resolution. I would look at the aspect ratio setting and try: 4:3 instead of the normal 16:9 which will give a SD resolution of 480i or 480p (I think...lol). Of course, don't forget to change the display mode back when you watch any other programming so you get HD. I hope this helps but no guarantees.

Deta, I'll need more info about what you've done so far. I have to assume that you've followed the instructions that came with the RF Link - if you've wired up the transmitter at your cable box and the receiver to your extra T,V, making sure that you've got the red, white, and yellow cables going to the same colored connectors on the box and TV and the RF Link isn't defective, then you may have too much distance between the cable box and the extra TV. 50-75ft is a good distance. You also want to make sure that there is no large metal object (refrigerator, metal cabinet) in the DIRECT path between the 2 link boxes. Next the 4 buttons on each link box - I set the link transmitter arbitrarily on #1, then at the tv link, push the button to scroll thru 1,2,3,4. Some transmitters also have a small 4 position slide switch on the rear. Do the same scroll excercize. Most problems are either crossing wires (red to white, yellow to red etc) or too much distance between between the links. Hooking up the links is no different than hooking up a VCR or DVD player - just think of the link transmitter to be the TV to the cable box, and the link receiver as a VCR hooked up to the remote TV. Good Luck Den M.

Wendy, I asked my hubby as I had bought for him. He said I should tell you when we had a problem putting VHS on DVD as it was suppose to do, he could not find anyone to look at it let alone fix it. That said, he also says no, it doesn't record without and external digit tuner. He really is NOT happy with the entire unit and Toshiba. He still gets upset thinking I wasted my money on it and it was the one he wanted.

you have your choice. front and back, just back, or just front. however the catch is, the current view you are in is what is being recorded. I prefer front and back view, so that means since that is the view I chose to display that is the view that will be recorded. Motion detection mode also works in all views/recordings.

That shouldn't be a problem. Just jack into any of the line - in's, I remember there's at least one, it might say TV, VCR, DVD or something else, but I'm certain it will work as there is a jack or two in back and one for games in front that should work if all else fails. When you use your record player you just switch to 'games' the word GAMES will appear on the LCD in front but you'll hear whatever record you put on coming through the speakers.

I know it is late but here is the answer. The best way is to use red, yellow, white RCA cables Your VCR probaly came with them. The yellow fits into the green receptacle at back of set. This set up is called composite. Dont forget to change input on remote. If these connections are already being used, you can hook up your VCR using "antennae out" on VCR to "antennae in" at back of set. These are the screw in connections using standard TV cable. Again change input setting on remote(Picture of antennae). Picture very nice using either method. These are great sets for the money. Over the last 15 years, and perhaps 25 different sets, I still prefer the plasnas.
