The Sony SLV-D300P is a DVD PLAYER and VCR. It does not record DVDs. You would have to buy a combo unit with a DVD recorder, not just a DVD player.

hello
does it not record from dvd? did you check from external source to record? is the vhs tape you insert for recording record protected (small plastic lid broke out to prevent recording)?

Yes, I have the same player. However, I have it hooked to my computer to do so. I use Windows Media Center to do so. Just hook to it and play normally, the VCR while you are recording with the computer. Then, with Windows movie maker, I burn whatever it is to DVD. There are other software programs out there that can help if you do not have Windows Media Center or Movie Maker, such as Nero or Roxio. There are some freebie programs if you understand computers a bit more, from either CNet or Majorgeeks, two websites I get freebie software programs from, as well as learn from on what is good and the benefits/how to use. Hope this helps.

Here is a link to your DVD recorder operation manual.
You can download the file of you choice.

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 had same problem. With mine i could record wo the digital cable box but not with it hooked up. Would love to get some info about it.

no reset, the infred led inside the unit are bad and need to be replaced common problem, they are located on the ends of the tape mech.
