Is third time a charm. Again several years ago I bought a Samsung DVD-VHS recorder/player as a back up unit @ Best Buys. We let our kids just recently (60 & 44) use it here in our home when they moved back from Dallas retiring from AA. I just bought them a DVD player only and was going to set up the Samsung unit to record our several hundred VHS tapes on to DVD's. The instruction Manual and the quick connect instructions show a totally different unit than our unit. The manual says (DVD-VR357) the model # on the back of our unit says DVD V1000 and they do not look anywhere near the same. Will our unit record VHS>DVD or just vice-versa and how do I download a instruction manual for this new unit.
Here is the owner's manual for your DVD machine. This is a VHS recorder but not a DVD recorder. To record VHS tapes to DVDs, you will need a DVD recorder.
You will plug the yellow video out connector on the VHS to the yellow 'Video in' connector on the DVD Recorder. Do the same for the red and white audio connections, out on the VHS, IN on the DVD Recorder. Connect your TV to the DVD recorder so you can see the picture you are recording.
Testimonial: "Thank you for you help, I thought we bought a recorder both ways but aparently we didn't. If we can get the manual I will be eternally grateful. "

I know I'm adding to your problem, I tried for first time ay a DVD (4 different ones 3 brand new) and they either tried to start and then stopped or showed (no disc). VHS works fine. This is Samsung DVD V1000. We purchased it in 2007 at Best Buys in Mt Juliet TN as a reserve. We thought we had bought a DVD>VHS & VHS>DVD. Our Ins Man shows it was suppose to a DVD-VR357 as does our purchase ticket with a 4 yr extended warranty, but the plate on the back says its a DVD V1000. I think some how our unit was defective and was returned to the store and they were given a new 357 without realizing it was not a 357. Someone gave them a new unit without checking and put our unit back in the 357 box out checking. It has to be something like this. I can't even send this unit in under warranty as its not the unit the extended warranty covers. Any idea as what might be wrong and what I can do about it. Thanks again Bob & Karen Bruner, Hermitage TN
