how to change record speed on toshiba dvr620KU

[OleDude]

I read the directions, they don't work.
Please help, how to change the record speed on Toshiba dvr620KU.

Are you referring to the recording mode (XP, SP, LP, EP, and SLP)?
If so, what are you trying to record from (VHS, DVD, TV, Cable)?
How do you mean when you say, "It doesn't work"? Please provide more details.

Referring to the recording mode XP, SP, LP, EP, and SLP, trying to record from DVD.

 

[americanaudiophile]

Those refer to modes for recording to a DVD. If you are trying to record "from" a DVD to the VCR you would select that in a VCR menu.
DVDs that are HDCP encoded cannpt be copied onto tape.

Ok. Are you formatting the discs prior to trying to record?
What kind of discs are you using to record to?
What kind of discs are you trying to record from?
How is the DVD player connected to the DVD Recorder?

Trying to record from Fios DVR to my DVD player that is hooked up right, just trying to set up recording mode SP, LP, EP, and SLP.
Won't get off SP.

FiOS DVR isn't going to record if the content is Copyright protected. With my experience there are three modes of HDCP protection:

1) Copy-No
2) Copy-Once
3) Copy-Freely

The first means you can't even copy it using your DVR. This is typically PPVs.
The second means you can use your DVR to record it, but it cannot be transferred or reformatted. This is typically premium channels (HBO/Showtime/Etc...) and some sporting events.
The last means you can record and copy/reformat to your hearts content.

Now I'm not certain with DVRs and they may have their own rules about copying content and this may be what is preventing your recordings or your ability to change the recording speed.

Also, you didn't answer my question about pre-formatting the disc as per pg 28 of the users guide.

No I am not pre-formatting the disk does that really matter?

 

[OleDude]

What i'm trying to copy is the Super Bowl, an the other games from the season.

 

[Wolfshadw]

According to the User's Manual Pg 27, it would appear so.

Additionally, the Super Bowl is one of those sporting events that falls under Copy-Once and I would not think you'd be able to copy it to another format.
