Hi there.
The REC tab is on the cassette itself, take it out and make sure the tab is there.

Good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!

What brand of DVD recorder? On my Panasonic, I use RCA cables to connect my camcorder to the yellow and white inputs on the front of the DVR. I have to press "input select" on the remote a few times until I get to L2, I think. This is a "line in" sort of setting and it directs the DVR to get its input from the RCA-style cables. Have your camcorder playing something you've recorded in its Video mode. If your TV is on the correct input (mine is called "Video 2", I think), you should see the camcorder image on your TV screen. Now, just rewind to the beginning of your camcorder tape. Insert a DVD-R disk (that's what mine takes) in your DVR. Hit Play on your camcorder and quickly press REC on the DVR remote. Let me know if this doesn't work.

...try to cleaning the camcorder with cleaning tape in the rec mode...

just feed the DVD RW or DVD-R that came with the camera in and select Video from the jog dial and then use the Red button to switch on the rec and again press the same button to switch off the rec u can open the lcd during rec but it will reduce ur battery power , as u use it u will learn it is very simple , u have specific question about menu let me know

You can open the cassette cover and spray inside the upper left side of mechanism(closer to the back) with contact cleaner spray,because there is a rec inhibit switch.If it's not damaged and just dirty you solve your problem ,but if is damaged it needs replacement.

The easiest way I know to fix the problem is just play tapes. Sounds like a bad switch contacts. clean the contacts or replace the switch. I don't know of any shortcuts. Sorry

1. Make sure the dv-camcorder is properly connected
2. Press INPUT repeatedly to select the external
input to record from.
• AV1: Audio/Video Input mounted on back
panel.
• AV2: Audio/Video Input mounted on front
panel.
3. Load a recordable disc.
4. Set a recording mode as necessary by pressing
REC MODE repeatedly.
DVD: XP, SP, LP or EP.
5. Press the REC button once to start recording.
The REC indicator lights in the display window.
6. Press STOP (x) to stop recording.

hi. could be wrong, but eject the cassette, on the top there is this tiny yellow (maybe red) plastic switch. should see save or rec with direction arrow. slide it into rec mode and wah-la! i hope!
