DV to VHS

[snunn]

I'm trying to record video from a DV tape onto a VHS tape in a VCR. I've got the video and two audio cables going from the DV camera to the "in" jacks on the VCR, I start play on the DV camera and record on th VCR but nothing happens. Should all VCRs be able to record from a DV camera?

That should work just fine. Once it comes out those componenet video cables it's a standard video signal. My own VCR has a couple of inputs that can be selected -- front, back -- and I need to be sure to select the one I plug into. Maybe that's your issue?

AlChuck said it right. I would better a bugger, ( I mean Burger) that you have the wrong input selected on the VCR. Also check to see that the camera is in Play or VCR mode.

I found the VCR instructions and it directed me to key in a sequence of numbers via the remote to put it in record mode. I was using the right inputs but they were not active. I've never heard of having to take that step, but it did work. Thanks for the help.

Glad that it worked out. Cheers
