No,you can not unless you use a separated converter box.There is no way to get the digital signal out of the tv to be recorded.

Try using the Yellow, Red & White Jacks to the TV, wire color to color.

Clean Lens with Lens cleaner & cotton than still same problem than only change Lens

You must be aware of the disc you use for recording. You better used DVD+R for better works. Will you please state, what kind of disc you used? the in put manuals? or you might forget to turn the analog/digital switcher?

I need the same thing.

the steps are located on p. 101 of the manual you can download it at the link above. Its basically just adjusting the setting in the menu. The manual gives best directions with illustrations if you need any further assistance please let me know.
Thank you,

I think you answered your own question. You need a digital / analog converter box to decode the new signals. After that's in place you'll be able to record just like before.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Check the region , PAL ,SECAM of your DVD playere and the DVD you try to play. Check if your TV is compatible PAL/SECAM.
Replace the cable to the TV.
Good luck

if your using a cable or satelite box it will work but has to be on the channel and powered on. dont change stations or it will record you changing the stations

Hi! I had the same problem. Press the pause button on the RECORDER for 5 seconds and the progressive light will go off. Not the remote, the recorder.

I would say there is a setting in the Menu of the dvd player, perhaps under a "System" tab. I dont have a Sony player right now to check but thats where it is on a Samsung. Good luck

sounds like your laser is getting weak. repair is usually not economical. laser is about 90% the cost of the unit. hope this helps if it still plays but not record. keep it as strictly playback unit.

On my Sony SLV-281P DVD/VCR Combo, if you pull down the spring loaded door for DVD you will see a white gear on the left side under tray....rotate that gear counter-clockwise. This will manually drive out the DVD tray far enough to enable you to pull it out the rest of the way.

try cleaning the lens first.then load a disk.try a different disc like VCD, CD etc.if only the DVD's are not read, the lens and the mainboard itself is faulty.but, if after cleaning it, it goes ok ,then its just dirty.

Hi here is a link to Sony manuals downloads

http://support.sony-europe.com/manuals/index.aspx?site=odw_en_GB#m=RDR-HX870

It seems to be only available in Slovenian (probably only produced for that region?)

On right side of page select from drop down box 'home video', second drop down select 'dvd recorder' then in third drop down you should see your model number RDR-HX870 (without D). Download is 3.16mb.
Hope that helps and you can read Slovenian?
