Hey,
What I want to do, is take a basic cable television program. Which is on Fox (channel 12) and use my VCR (JVC Pro-Cision 19 HEAD) to record it onto a blank tape. I have my VCR connected so I can play regular movies. I have tried recording using the both connectors, the cable connecter (the one with the single pin sticking out that screws into the wall) and the I/O Connecters (red, white, yellow) If anyone could give me a step by step process on what to do, using either connectors that would be great. Thanks for feedback. Bye |

Connect the coax cable, then go into the setup menus, select cable for input, then autoprogram the channels. |

I'd like to know what a coax cable is, what setup menu you're talking about, and what is autoprogram? |

Coax is the round cable that the cable company uses. If you press the menu button there will be a setup menu where you can select cable or antenna. There should be a program channels menu there too. |

Connect RCA jacks from the satellite to the VCR and set the VCR to line. There should be an input button on the remote to set the VCR to line. |

If there's no button for line input, use the VCR tuner's up and down buttons to tune to channel L-1. |

Connect the antenna to the in on the VCR. Then go into the setup menus on the VCR and set on antenna, then use autoprogram to set the channels. When you're ready to record set it on channel 7 and set the record speed. |

Is it possible to connect the VCR to antenna (RF input) and take the output from the RCA(red, yellow and white) pins. My TV has only the RCA input working. Basically will the VCR take RF as input and give RCA output? |

Yes that will work! basically what you will be doing is using the VCR as an external tuner, just plug the RCA output on your VCR into the RCA input on your TV and use the VCR to change channels. I do it all the time to watch cable on my LCD video projector which only accepts RCA inputs. |

Hello, I have digital Warner cable and I want to watch one show on the cable box while recording a different show on the vcr. Or just record shows on the vcr while tv and cable box are off. How do I hook that up please? I have tried cable to vcr to box to tv and I have tried cable to box to vcr to tv. Neither allows the vcr to use it's tuner. All I get is blue screens unless I tune the vcr to channel 3. |

You can only record analog channels while watching digital. Split the incoming cable to the box and the VCR, that will allow the VCR to record analog channels. |

It's not Macrovision on a camcorder. |

Hardy:
Could be dirty/bad heads on the DV CAM or a bad tape. Does it play back scrabbled on the camera’s LCD also? If not then there is probably a bad connection somewhere between the camera and VCR. Try a different tape, try wiggling the cables, if picture gets better or worse then it’s a bad connection. Does the VCR exhibit this symptom on all inputs or just with the DV CAM? |

You have to hook up your cable connection to the VCR's built in tuner. Then use the VCR to select the channel you want and hit record. |

What is this "set vcr to line" or "L-1"? I'm trying to use my JVC(HR277MS)VCR as an external tuner. Lost my original remote and got a universal. Hooked up the coax RF(in), but can't get a menue to tune in or select input. I do see, however this L-1 on the screen. How do I tune in? |

You need to get into the menus. You could try unplugging it long enough to reset, then it might autoprogram the channels. |

I have a JVC Pro-Cision 19 HEAD VCR (Model Number HR-VP672U). I have lost my remote to this device. I am trying to change the Tape Speed from SP to EP. I have not been able to figure out how to do this without the remote that was shipped with the VCR. As a result I can not tape over 2 hours.
I have cofigured ny Direct TV remote to control the VCR, but I am still unable to switvh the tape speed. Has anyone encountered this problem with this VCR or can help me change the Tape Speed. |

If it has a menu button on the VCR, and you can't change it in the menus, set a short timer in EP, then it may change to EP after timer recording. |

If there isn't an antenna/cable select, it will do it automatically when you autoprogram the channels, which is what you need to do. |

Help. I've had the satelite guys out twice and they can't seem to fix the problem. I use to have cable and now I have satelite. My VCR I am assured is connected properly and acts like it's recording but the tape is still blank when done. I was told to put it on three to record and I do but still nothing. The vcr is six years old and does play tapes but won't record now. It did record when I had cable. The menu setup only allows for tv, cable tv, or axl but not satelite. Can you not time tape with satelite? If not I'm cancelling since I'll never get to see anything since I work evenings. Thanks for any help. Liz |

Autoprogram the channels, set the antenna/cable to cable first. Put it on the channel you want, select the tape speed and press record. |

Can someone out there please help me? I have a Panasonic Omnivision VCR that has me pulling my hair out. I have the basic connections. Cable box to "In From Antenna" on the VCR. Then I have a cable running from "Out to TV" on the VCR, to the TV Input. My TV is an RCA. The problem is that the VCR will not play any tapes that I record from Cable. The VCR seems to have trouble "tracking" the recording. It will play for a few seconds then then the tape starts "skipping". Then there is a blank (blue) screen. The display says "SP" for speed, but I record all my tapes on "SLP" speed. Oh yeah, when I attempt to play my favorite "pre-recorded" tape, there is no problem. What gives??? |

It either needs cleaned, head cleaning tapes don't work, it's out of alignment, not usually a problem with Panasonic, it has a bad pinch roller, or a tension band problem. |

A few days ago I purchased a Sony 4 head VCR so that my wife could program her favorite Soap Operas and watch them at night. I think I got burned! When I started reading the manual, it mentioned that this machine had a 1 month, 8 event recording timer. Does this mean my wife only has the option of programming 8 events per month??? She likes to program every morning before she goes to work. When I did a search on the website of my favorite electronics outlet, it seems that almost all of the vcr's listed had similar limitations. Whatever happenned to the days when you could program a vcr with no such limitations. Where have I been?

Those 8 programs can be set to record every day. If she records the same thing every day, just set it for Monday-Friday, or daily if they are on every day. |

I have a sony VCR, and i want to record a TV show onto it. But i suspect there is something wrong with the audio... Something in the back connects it to the antenna receiver, and the other connects to the TV. When I try to record something, I need to set it to either L1, L2 or PR1, I haven't figured out which one yet. But whenever I finally get the antenna recorded on the video tape, it has no sound. When I switch the input on the tv and go on the video one and try to open the menu, it doesnt work.. Is there any way you can help me hook it up properly/fix it/record the show onto the tape?? thank you! |
