How do I record TV

Hi there,

Step 1. Set the recording timer on your DVD recorder to record the chosen program when it comes on, or wait for the show to start and do the recording manually. Place a blank, recordable disc in the tray of your DVD recorder and close the tray.
Step 2. Make notes of where you'd like to insert chapter stops, being ready to skip over commercials and edit them from the program. It helps to have a general idea in advance where to insert chapter breaks. For an hour-long program, chapter breaks every 10 to 15 minutes are convenient when reviewing the program later.
Step 3. Press the "Record" button on the DVD recorder to commence burning the program to DVD. Use the Pause and Edit controls of the DVD recorder to eliminate commercials and create chapter stops on the DVD for easy browsing later. Place the recorded disc in a protective sleeve or case and label it for easy identification later.

Good Luck!!

Thanks

Hello there, when you say you can't get it to select a signal, does it show the signal on the screen? Do you have your direc tv running through the box? This is a pretty difficult problem to describe all the possible scenarios for via posts... You need to make sure you have output from the directv box going to the input on the dvd recorder. Select that as your source, put in a blank dvd, and it should be as simple as hitting record while that input source is playing something.

r00t usually is indicating that you are on the root of the disc, otherwise not certain what it would be referring to. If it does not record to DVD and you have the input comeing from your directv box, and that input selected as the source, then there is something wrong with the unit.

Thanks
