Just bought a Toshiba d-vr7 recorder and am having problems getting it setup with my panasonic plasma 42" tv. I have had it to play a dvd no problem but cannot get it to play a vhs or do any recording to vhs or dvd. I need someone to call me to help getting the cables setup properly.

I called Future shop for free.

This unit is an unreliable piece of junk. After a few months, you will notice that this Toshiba D-VR7 will start locking-up randomly, require a system reset (pulling the power for over 10 minutes; then you reprogram everything ALL OVER AGAIN). It is very temperamental and has multiple bugs in its firmware; e.g. placing a finalized DVD into the unit will 'disable' many features on the VCR side of the machine. Toshiba is just plain weak and sloppy when it comes to DVD recording these days. Stay as far away from this unit as you possible can; buy panasonic or JVC but not this unit.
