Question about Panasonic DMR-ES40V DVD-Video Recorder

Panasonic recorded dvds? what's up?

I have successfully dubbed vhs tapes into dvd format and they play on the Panasonic DVD player BUT THEY WON'T PLAY ON MY SONY DVD RECORDER??? Do I need to "format"the dubbed dvds? I had thought the vhs to dvd format didn't require a "finalizing" procedure?

i transfered(dubbing from VHS to DVD, when it stopped recording Recorder freezes. Can't get dvd out, VHS comes out only. Can not open to get DVD, or turn off recorder. can not go in any funtion. Can't even watch the tv because it's through the recorder and can't turn it off and can't change channel. The only thing I can do is unplug and start over. Try again and it does the same thing. I did 1 tape yesterday, read up and finalized it today. AFter I did the finalizing on the one tape I'm having this problem.

What can I do to correct this?

I have a Magnavox ZV427MG9. I follow all directions in manual for dubbing VHS home movies to DVD but when I try to play the DVD back there's nothing on them.What am I doing wrong?

Depending on the procedure you may be pressing the record button instead of the D.Dubbing or Dubbing button. When recording from VHS to DVD you must first, load the blank DVD and VHS home movies, then play the VHS movies, then PAUSE the VHS movie when you want to START recording... then the only the you have to do is pressing the D.Dubbing button or the Dubbing button. If your VHS tapes starts to play after the Dubbing button is pressed you have been successful in Dubbing.

VCR DVD Recorder not dubbing

I called the manufacturer and realized I was using the wrong type of recordable DVD disc to dub to. Non copy protected VHS tapes dub just fine as long as I'm using the proper disc.

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.

How To Burn a DVD from VHS tape

Insert the VHS tape. Do not press play. Insert a DVD RAM or DVD-R into the DVD side and press and hold DVD DUBBING, it should start playing the VHS immediately while recording on the DVD side.

Will not record on a DVD R

what I would do is play the vhs tape for a bit then rewind and press the dub botton only and see what happens. if nada then insert a new blank dvd and make sure its formated.
