The DVR620KU doesn't have a tuner; see https://www.crutchfield.com/S-0n5sO0paa6L/p_052DVR620/Toshiba-DVR620.html for the specifications. What's the source for your recording? Does your TV have a tuner (ATSC)?
OTA signal with a TV with an ATSC tuner: If you have a digital (ATSC) to analog (NTSC) over-the-air converter box sending the NTSC signal to the DVR620, then the answer is maybe. Some models offer a pass-through feature when you daisy-chain the RF input. You will need to enable the feature in the setup menu of the converter box. Other models only pass-through the signal when the converter box is off. If you have a strong incoming signal, you can try using a splitter to feed both the TV and the converter box. (However, this will attenuate the signal to each tuner and even an amplifier/splitter combination may not allow enough digital signal for each tuner to resolve weak channels.)
For other set-top boxes (cable, satellite, etc.), it will depend on if you have multiple tuners available.
Please add a comment with more details about your A/V setup for more information.

check out this diagram, paying close attention to the audio video cable hookups.
assume the cable tv box represents the converter box
you are going to come out of the converter box audio and video outputs into the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo audio and video inputs.
Then out of the new magnavox dvd/vcr combo outputs to the inputs on the tv if it has such inputs. The TV will have to operate on the video input 1 or 2 if the tv has such a thing, use the remote for the tv to adjust the input signal to line in 1 or 2 depending on what it has.
If the tv has no coaxial input or audio video inputs then you might have to use an adapter, you can get these from radio shack.
You say it will not record from the tv, but in all actuality the dvd vcr combo is getting the signal from the converter box not the tv, do you understand what I mean here?
So the dvd vcr combo gets input from the converter box so you will have to set it to view signal from the line input you have plugged in from the converter box. line 1 or 2 or whatever the input is.
the tv will have to be set on the line input to view the signal from the dvd vcr combo.
That is as easy as I can put it. Study the diagram closely. You will see what I mean.

Good one!
Sounds like you are doing everything right. Only things I can think of are:
- Make sure the disc is a blank one.
- Try a different disc.
- Make sure the tape you are trying to dub is not encoded with Macrovision copyguarding. If it is a home-made recording then you are OK, but a factory recording on a store bought tape may cause some difficulties.
If you are still having troubles try a complete 15 minute reset by unplugging from the power source.
Good luck!
