After I record a movie or show on a new Sony DVD recorder I purchased, when I play it back I hear a humming sound in the volume. When the tv is on by itself while watching a regular tv show I do not hear that humming only on the recorded show. Could it be the new DVD recorder or did I not correct the wires correctly? I need help. Any suggestions? Thank you for your assistance.

I don't understand your problem.
Is it the TV or is it the DVD? You say you tried other dvds and the problem is still there. Looks like the TV is the problem. Sometimes it's hard to help people when they only mention on screen issues. How can first DVD say 'incorrect disk' and then another dvd, and another still say 'incorrect disk'? It just doesn't seem to make sense. Is the contents on the disk a computer recorded movie, film or home movie? If so, you have to record the film on the disk with a format that accept the DVD. Could the DVD be a Blu-Ray, can it play a number of video formats, DVD, DivX, KviD DVD, etc.? Try first with a purchased movie DVD disc, if it doesn't work, then the DVD is faulty. DVD players these days are meant to play a wide range of video format, including CD discs. If you have an old DVD player, you may not play latest discs. But if the DVD is incorporated with the TV, then you have to insert a new movie and see if it plays. Go to an appliance or TV DVD store and talk to them. Or you can purchase a new movie and insert it in. If it doesn't work, you can always return it. As you said, you've tried different DVDs, sounds like it is a separate DVD player. If so, try other movie discs. I get the same warning only when I insert discs with movies I recorded on my computer, such as Pinnacle video editor.

You need to buy Sony DVD Recorder and hook Sony VCR to that dvd recorder and burn DVD directly. You can also watch VCR tape movie on TV via dvd recorder while its being burn on dvd.
Click Sony Style to select DVD recorder.

Just record the shows to the hdd and when your there then burn the shows into the dvd from the hdd.the dvd is pretty small it wont hold many shows.

The movies you are trying to copy are "Copywrite Protected"

Pay me and I'll tell you.

I have converted home videos on my PC this way. I have a Sony camcorder whose output connects
to my firewire card in the PC. I also use windows Movie maker. While it is recording, I don't hear the audio. After saving the file and playing it back, I hear the audio, along with seeing the movie. Windows movie maker allows me to stop, start, and record the movie. It has complete control over the
Sony camcorder by using the firewire port on the PC.

You should be connecting video in of Dvdrecorder to video out of Tv.

Some cameras you CANNOT play back on the camera, but it only works on the computer. Nothing is wrong, because that camera is basic. So yeah.

It sounds like the tape is cocked slightly. some VHS tapes did make noise. I'd take it to the store and show them the noise.

the dvd writer needs to be replaced,the laser is faulty or miisaligned, the cost of a repair is no longer viable because a new one would cost about $60 (£32.00)
