Why GoVideo VR5940+VCR won't record even if Timer Recording is set?
Your GoVideo DVD Recorder+VCR might not record even with a Timer Recording set due to several reasons: there is no disc loaded, a non-recordable disc is loaded, Disc Protect is set to ON in the Disc Settings menu, or there are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.
Why can't I enter a Timer Recording on my GoVideo VR5940?
You cannot enter a Timer Recording on your GoVideo DVD Recorder if a recording is already in progress, the start time has already passed, or if eight Timer Recordings have already been set.
Why is confirmation not possible on my GoVideo DVD Recorder?
Confirmation is not possible on your GoVideo DVD Recorder when the Disc Protect setting is set to ON or if there are already 99 titles recorded on the disc.
