The screen says it is recording but when I play back it says the disc is empty. I do not have the manual so I cannot check if I am doing it correctly... any help or copy's of manuals please?
Make sure you are using DVD+R or DVD+RW. It will not work with the - type.
You set the VCR going up to the point that you want to start recording then press COPY on the remote control. That is all you need to do.
