I have tried to setup and record for both DVD and VCR but I am doing something wrong. I also have no idea how to get the picture and voice going at the same time. It would help if the mnaual was in english at the time that I tried to understand what they were trying to explain. I have set up stereo equipment all my life. However never a combo before and I am baffled. The manual was in english when I had it at the time. Please help. I have had this machine so long it is going to become obsolete and I won't be able to use it. doicu2@verizon.net Tressa
