During vcr to dvd dubbing with a sony rdr-vx525, the recorder stops periodically--sometimes as often as every sixty seconds--and leaves the following message "Updating the information of disc. Please wait for a moment". At the same time the front panel of the recorder displays "INF WRITE". When the disc is finalized and played back, I can neither fastforward or backup past the location where the disc "Updating...". I have to watch a pause, about 5 seconds of tv, and then the disc will play until the next "Updating.." occurrance. Interestingly I have tried re-dubbing these vhs tapes and they always are "Updating .." at the exact same spot. The spot does not necessarily fall at a point where the original recording was turned off or on or interrupted in any way. This is very annoying. Any thoughts?
Thank You |

Are you using RCA jacks for dubbing? Sounds like a weak VHS signal making the recorder think there's no signal. Some recorders are more prone to this problem than others. |

Help - I have the same problem - on a brand new out-of-the box VX-525 machine -
I'm using Verbatim DVD +R disks.
The RX525 dubs VHS to DVD internally, There are no RCA cables involved.
What brand and type of DVD disk have all the successful users been using? |

Verbatim discs are suppose to be some of the better ones.
I only use made-in-Japan discs that are very difficult to find in retail stores. |

Are the Verbatim discs made in Taiwan or India? If they are MIT discs, it's not the discs. It's either a problem with the recorder or the VHS signal is too weak and the recorder thinks there's no signal. |

I think Sony is using Samsuck for thier recorders these days. If so, that's surely the problem. |

I had the same problem, trying all types of disks-ruining many. I finally called the helpline and was told that since I was using Sony disks and still having problems, that is was the equipment. I sent it out for warrenty repair. It was fixed, and has been working fine since then.
Now I accidently reset the remote command to DVD 1, while trying to understand what each one did. Now I can't use the remote to get out of it, so I can't finalize any DVDs. I also can't figure out if there is a setting I can use for the DVD's to be able to edit the DVD scenes on my computer. I can play back the DVD's on my computer without finalizing them.
Any success with anyone? |

I went on different forums and found out that it might be the VHS tapes. I tried a different VHS tape and had no problems dubbing it. |
