      If you're having trouble recording with your Toshiba DVD VCR Combo, check the disc space using the disc information. Verify that the disc is not protected and that the video you are trying to record is not copy-guarded. Also, confirm that the number of recorded titles is 99 or less and that the total number of chapters for the recorded titles is 999 or less, using the disc information. If you are using a DVD-RW of Ver.1.0, recording in Video mode may not work; check the disc type.
