I purchased a Magnavox ZV427MG9. Am able to connect video and audio cables in order to watch DVD's and VHS tapes but unable to set channels in order to time record. I was told that there was something about a tuner, but I did not understand what he was saying. Is there no longer such a thing as the old-fashioned VCR/DVD recorder player, and if not, what would I need to purchase to be able to do this?
