   Question    posted to Home Audio & Theater Dealers on 11/17/08 10:34 PM, White Plains, NY 10601
I'll try to explain the problem the best way that I can.....

When I used to live in my old place and had the "Family Cable" package, whenever I wanted to tape a TV program, I would simply pop the VHS into the VCR, turn to the channel that I wanted, and press "RECORD" on the VCR unit, and the program would record onto the VHS tape.

I assumed that I could do the same in my new place with the "Family Cable IO" package. So, I popped the VHS into the VCR and turned to the channel that I wanted to tape. I then pressed "RECORD" on the VCR unit, the red record light went on, and I heard the VHS tape progressing forward in the VCR.

However, when the program was over and I rewind and play the tape, nothing was actually recorded (just white fuzz).

Here is a little more information. First of all, I do not have a "DVR" or "TiVo", so I really need to rely on being able to record a TV program onto a VHS tape for now. Second of all, unlike my old cable system unit, with my current cable system unit, in order to watch a VHS or DVD, I have to use the TV remote (Sony TV) to press the "TV/VIDEO" button to reach "Video 1" to actually view a VHS tape or DVD. I actually have viewed both VHS and DVD movies, so I know the unit does work.

So, basically I do not know how to program my VCR to record a TV program. I tried over the weekend, but cannot seem to figure it out. I may be missing wires in the back that might enable me to simply record a program that I'm watching on the same channel, but I dont know.

Do you think that you might know what the problem is ?

Would you be willing to come over my place and take care of it for me ?

The unit is a Toshiba DVD/VCR player SD - V291.

Thank you.
