Each dvd recorder is different. I would sit down with the instruction book and read it and practice recording something. It took me a couple of times to get it right. It's a lot different then recording from a tape. Good luck.I have a question for all the people that got new DVD Recorders for Christmas. Are you recording Nationals by chance??? I am very excited about attending all the evens in Portland, but I haven't figured out a way to record the TV coverage. If you could possible help, please let me know before Saturday, since that is when I am leaving for Portland.
Thanks

Dlkksk8fan, after two hours of trying to get it hooked up, I sat with the instruction book to record at least to VHS, now how hard can that be? My instruction book is over 80 pages. I am certain once I get used to it I will be fine. I drew a diagram of how to hook it up and then unhooked it and hooked the old VCR back up, it is so much more simple to operate. I need a few hours just to play with the new toy and right now I don't have the time. I am happy that I have it though.dlkksk8fan said:It took me a couple of times to get it right.

I had my instruction book out the other day because I was having trouble recording (finally got it right), when my husband took one look at the book and quickly raninstruction book is over 80 pages.
I think you're right about making them more user friendly. They have already come down so much in price just over the last year. By the time I get used to programing and recording, they'll probably be so simple to use. By then we will only have the option of recording DVD's.dlkksk8fan said:I think maybe in a few years someone will make these dvd recorders a lot more simpler then they are now. Dee-good luck getting it all hooked up.
