Our Sony dual recorder has been spitting out the vhs tapes after a couple of mins being played. And no shows are being recorded.

Is it possible the VHS you're trying to copy is copy-protected? Apparently, the MC6 displays "waiting for signal" when you're attempting to copy a copy-protected (commercial) video. I had success converting my own homemade VHS tapes. I just bought my MC6, and thought I'd pass along some tips I got from others: You know you're recording when a red ring around the large Record button lights up and it actually says "recording" on screen, and adjust HQ to SP to get 2-plus hours of video on the DVD.

now days dvd player comes with advace tacnoloy
u not need make vedio dvd u make to your dvd as a data dvd & dvd plyer read it isely so dont need to do vhs or vcd

Use mini to vhs adapter to play and dvd/vcr combo recorder to dub to dvd.

Press the speed button (or something like that) to cycle through the possible speeds. If only two they will be normal and extended (sometimes called super). Sometimes there are three: normal, long and extended. Some recorders let you set the speed on the same menu that you use to set the recording time.

Check the tab on the VHS tape be sure it is there. If not place a [piece of transparent tape on it to simulate the tab and try again.

I'm assuming your Disney tapes are store-bought, as opposed to recorded off the air. If that's true, the reason you can't record them to your dvd recorder is because of copy-protection. Sorry...can't advise you how to break that.

I called the manufacturer. They admitted to improper instructions. They provided me a fix to their copying protocol and it worked. Also, they game me instructions on how to fix already copied tapes. It works well and I would have to say I was impressed with their customer/technical service.
