DVD/CD Player with Video Cassette Recorder

Do you mean USB? According to the manual for your DVD recorder, the USB port is only for the playback of MP3 (audio) or JPEG (photo) files. So you can't record video from your camera through the USB port.

You can't burn a CD-A with the ZV427MG9. The unit will not burn to a CD to play in a CD player.

You may be able to record the audio to a DVD with no video source. Connect your cassette player to the Line In audio ports (L/R) at either the back or front of the unit. Depending on your cassette player, you may need a 3.5 mm M to RCA F/F adapter to connect the RCA audio cable to the cassette player's headphone jack. Do not connect a cable to the video input of the composite input unless you have a video on a camera or something to play back. This means that the recorded video may say "No Signal" or will be black or static. (Note: this may not work with this signal issue.)

Set the unit to record to DVD on L1 or L2, as needed, by pressing Source on your remote. Advance the cassette to where you want to record. Press Rec on the DVD unit and then press Play on your cassette player. If you want to identify tracks, Stop the recording and play back and then press Rec and Play again. You are at risk of having issues with the volume during the recording. Clipping of overly-loud sounds and distortion is possible.

When done, finalize the disc, if desired, to play the disc on other DVD players.

If you want to make an audio CD, you would be better off using a computer and connecting the cassette player to the Line In jack of the computer. You do have to make some adjustments to avoid recording the default Microphone input. Use a program like Audacity or any other audio editing program. Record the signal and divide it into tracks, if needed. Now you can filter out any distortion as well. Then save as a WAV file. Use a different program to burn the WAV files to a CD-A. (This must be burned as a mastered disc; my attempts that worked on an older CD player failed if there were gaps between the tracks. Lots of programs will do this; Roxio Creator is one option.)

I hope this helps.

Seems the DVD is only a player, not a recorder. If the manual did not explane how to do it most likely it will not.

Progressive scan video output would be available on Component Video terminals of dvd player so set connections between TV and dvd player via Component Video cable.
Please intimate model and brand of product that you need instruction manual.
Thanks.

use a video splitter for the audio and video, or go out of the DVD player in to the DVR, out of the DVR into the TV (WARNING!!!! Trying to hook a DVD player to any recording device may trigger the copyright protection, causing blue flashes, and distorted pictures)

in order for you dvd play to recognize them they have to be coded right and to make photos coded write you need to use a program that makes them into a movie and easy one to use is windows movie maker. and then you can code it to a dvd from another program just look for an dvd burner program and it will most likely code it for you after asking a couple of nessesary questions. hope this helps

i have a presidian dvd recorder and when i put in
a new blank dvd-r disc it only gets it prepared up to
21% and tthen it stops and opens

Swop the CDR into the tape outputs on the amp and use it just like the tape recorder you had hooked up. Also do a direct digital link to a CD player for digital copies.
