Insignia DVD Recorder/VCR won't initilize disk

I'm having a problem with the insignia dvd recorder. It just started randomly opening and closing the dvd tray without a disk in it. I recorded a dvd today and it wouldn't let me initilize or finalize the disk.

This problem sound like a component failure in the drive circuit of the dvd player. These type of intermittent problems are usually caused by overheating of the components. This unit should be taken into a service center and tested for bad components. This may be just the start of your problems if you do not check it out. You can call Insignia technical service at this number 1-877-467-4289. You can also check out their website in the frequently asked questions and troubleshooting sections to see if someone has had this problem and got the answer to it. www.insigniausa. Or you can just google it under insignia. Hope this helps you with your problem.

Can another Insignia DVD Recorder be used to finalize DVD's recorded on another Insignia DVD Recorder?

Unless the Insignia recorders are both IDENTICAL models, same year of manufacture, and have the exact same firmware versions, you CANNOT finalise a disc in one unit that was recorded on another.

How do I record my vhs tapes to Disk

I have done a lot of dubbing on my machine. First make sure the DVD is formatted. When you put in a new disc it should ask you if you want to initialize. Once that is done, switch to VCR mode. push play on the VCR then push the DUB button on the front of the machine. I hope it helps.
