Good one!
Sounds like you are doing everything right. Only things I can think of are:
- Make sure the disc is a blank one.
- Try a different disc.
- Make sure the tape you are trying to dub is not encoded with Macrovision copyguarding. If it is a home-made recording then you are OK, but a factory recording on a store bought tape may cause some difficulties.
If you are still having troubles try a complete 15 minute reset by unplugging from the power source.
Good luck!
Yes, I had the same problem with my DVR610KU when trying to dub my personal-recorded VHS tapes to DVD. After several failed attempts, I called Toshiba 1-800-631-3811 and they said to "skip step # 7" on page 50 of the manual. Odd, but true. It worked there after. Note that I have model is DVR610KU, not DVR620KU, but it sure sounds the same to me. I did not have to reset the power source. I am using DVD-R discs. Also, I found that it I could only get the dubbing to work with "L1" input setting, not L2 or L3 on my unit! The instruction manual lacks a LOT in organization and especially with errors in it. Be sure to "finalize" the disc when done dubbing to maximize its compatibility in other DVDs or PCs. It seems to me that the DVD-R discs have the most compatibility. The discs will play in the Toshiba unit without "finalizing".
I hope this helps.
Thanks-- we had called Toshiba and that's about the gist of their answer...
Thank you BillyBob19959 - Skipping step #7 on the DVR620KU unit worked as well. Provided you load a new DVD disk and set the dubbing option from VCR to DVD, all you need to do is load the blank DVD, insert the VCR cassette, and press the dubbing button. Thank you again!
We didn't have a "Guide" button on our remote but the skipping #7 step worked on our machine too.
