HELP VCR DVD Recorder won't dub VHS 2 DVD

by maneeshpan1 - 6/2/09 11:42 PM

Okay I have a VCR DVD Recorder just bought it last November during Black Friday sale but was unable to find time to install it before a few days back) first VHS tape I tried to dub was a tape from the Star Wars Trilogy Special Edition and I got a warning error about copy protection preventing the tape from dubbing -- after that even if I change the tape -- to a tape I recorded on myself it refuses to dub. This is a Magnavox VCR DVD Recorder.

I hope it was not disabled due to a DRM violation from copying another VHS tape 2 DVD in which case I would have to buy a completely new VCR DVD Recorder which I cannot afford to do in the near term.

Any suggestions or insight -- as to what may have caused this would be great.

"it refuses to dub"

If there's no message this time, copy protection isn't the cause. All you can try: a brand-new supported type of DVD. If that doesn't work, even after you studied the manual twice, go back and use your warranty.

Just to repeat.

I've lost count of the times I have to:

1. Use supported media. If it says DVD+R we use that. Beyond that, if it appears to prefer one type of media over another we use what works and forget support calls.

2. Read the manual again.
