Magnavox dvd player/ recorder E 4 54037380 - Sylvania DVR90VE DVD Recorder/VCR

http://www.ehow.com/how_8623235_do-finalize-magnavox-dvd.html is how to finalize a disk on Magnovoz! I have the ZV457MG9 - its model takes with

1) loading disk
2) select the set up button
3) select DVD edit
4) select finalize DVD

Then you finalize the DVD!!!

Did you finalize the disc when you finished on the Magnavox? That should do it.

Sure you can... connect a cable from the Output jacks of your DVD player and attach it to the Input jacks of your Magnavox the same way you connected the TV. You'll need to use your remote on the Magnavox to change the Input it records from so it conforms with where you plugged the cable into.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Your description indicates that the last step in the DVD recording has not been performed on these discs that were recorded on the Magnavox. This would be "finalize" or instruct the Magnavox that no other files would be written/recorded on the current disc. Thereafter, the Magnavox would complete the DVD disc making it playable in any other player. Normally, finalization would take a bit of time to complete.

Pls post back how things turned up. Good luck and thank you for using FixYa.

Although this is a Magnavox DVR, it is made by Funai. The manual for it can be found at:

Hope this helps!

You have to finalize the disc. Get out of disc menu and press setup on remote. Select disc edit and finalize then it will play on other dvd players.

I have a Magnavox zv457mg9 DVD&VCR combo ,and the vcr records for a short period(10minutes) and then cuts off. This happens each time I try to record on the VCR. Any suggestions??
