I'm new at this...hooked up the 3 cords from camcorder to my Go Video...selected AV 2 input...hit record on VCR and play on the Sony. It showed that I used up space on the DVD but when I tried to play it back I get nothing....not on TV and not on my new laptop. When I recorded I never did get the picture on my TV...screen was black. Anyone suggest what I've done wrong. These instruction booklets alway make it sound so simple....I thought I had copied correctly but just didn't hit the write buttons to play it back on my DVD....but when I put the DVD-R in my laptop nothing happened there either. I followed the instruction including finalizing the DVD? All suggestions really appreciated for this old dog trying to learn new tricks!!
