System - Cable Hardware Toshiba RDXV60KB Trying to record from cable to vcr using Timer. Have option to record using timer to either DVD or HDD - there is not an option for VCR. At present, I am having to record from cable to HDD, then dubbing whole of recording to VCR. Used vcr and timer for 30 years, first time have had trouble. Thanks for any suggestions.
SOURCE: Can't get VCR to record
You may have to push the channel buttons on the source and check the video unit until you see whats playing on the main unit once you have a picture comming thru you should be able to record. if not let me know we can figure out some other solutions to get you up and recording.
SOURCE: S-video imput not working
I had the same problem. Solved it by going to Set Up, Video Selection, then choosing the S- Video input jack, vs the default. Now if I could just get it to pass video when the unit is off...
SOURCE: Timer Recording
This is from the KR10 manual. Hope it helps.
1. Set the clock before setting a timer.
2. Insert a recordable disc with enough space.
Then:
1. Press [TIMER PROG] on the remote
2. Use up/down arrows to select "New Program" then press [ENTER]
3.Use up/down arrows to enter the date, then press right arrow
4. Use the arrow keys to enter the start and end time, then press right arrow key.
5. Use the up/down arrows to select the external input position to which your cable/satellite box is connected, then press [right arrow]
6. Use the up/down arrows to select a recording mode.
7. Press [ENTER] when all items are entered.
8. Press red [I/O ON STANDBY] to set a timer programming.
DO NOT FORGET THIS LAST STEP! The timers will not work if the recorder is not in standby mode.
SOURCE: how do i hook up dvd recorder/vcr to my tv?
Hello.
If its a combined dvd/vcr unit you should be able to record on the dvd input from the vcr with a 3 split cord connected as described below..
VCR -
---------
Video output - yellow.
Audio output - left and right - red & white.
=========================================
DVD
--------
Video input - yellow.
Audio input - left and right - red & white.
=========================================
Or you might have to use a standared RF cable from the
antenna out on the video to the antenna in on the DVD.
=========================================

---------------------------------
Just as you can't copy commercially made video tapes to another VCR due to Macrovision anti-copy encoding, the same applies to making copies to DVD. DVD recorders cannot bypass the anti-copy signal on commercial VHS tapes or DVDs. If a DVD recorder detects the anti-copy encoding on a commercial DVD it will not start the recording and display some sort of message either on screen or on its LED front panel display that it detects the anti-copy code or that it is detecting an unusable signal.
A DVD recorder can be used to copy any homemade videos, such as camcorder videos and videos made from TV shows, and can also copy Laserdiscs, and other non-copyprotected video material. Also, remember that a DVD recorder also has a built-tuner for recording TV programming directly. The tuner can be programmed to record a series of programs on different days and times, much like a VCR.
However, if you are recording a non-copy protected DVD to a DVD recorder you can record any of the video content, provided you click on the menu and start the video segments running and you have enough time space on the disc.
DVD recorders function like VCRs in that they can record incoming video signals -- however, they do not automatically copy all the contents of the DVD - for instance, you cannot copy the interactive menu functions of a non-copy protected commercial DVD. A DVD recorder creates its own menu functions, it will not duplicate the function menu from a another DVD.

Hope this will help you.
