Why record from the tv? Simply split and hook up the cable to your vcr and record directly therefrom. Do you not have the manual for programming the vcr?

what if you have regular cable can you do that ? How? if not how can i record from reg cable cause the way I hooked it up does not work
Connect the cable to the in on the VCR and the out to the TV. Then go into the VCR setup menu and set the antenna/cable to cable, then autoprogram the channels.
i have a vextra vx-904 vcr and im trying to set the timer to record shows while im at work...i have the times programmed but that damn thing refuses to record...ive tried everything i can think of and i know this cant be too difficult but its frustrating the hell out of me...ive even tried programming it to record while im sitting here..with tv off and on...nothing works..if anyone could help me i would appreciate it very very much!
The VCR needs to be off to timer record. If you've got it off and it's not recording, you need to activate the timer. Some VCRs automatically activate the timer when turned off, some don't.
i tried setting the timer and turning the vcr off to no avail..the manual for my vcr is long gone and i dont know how i would go about activating the timer...the remote for my vcr has two buttons that need to be pressed when trying to record normally..one labeled rec and the other labeled otr...someone had mentioned to me that i have to press the otr to activate the timer but it does nothing
I have an Emerson VCR and I know how to program and everything. The only problem is I left my VCR on to record one of my programs at a certain time well when I got home I noticed that it started recording way earlier than I programmed it for. Does it sound like I did something wrong? What do I need to do? Please help me as soon as possible.
Its not that because this was before the time change. I think it might have to do with the OTR(one touch record button) because i never bothered with that every time i record.
