Some televisions have a special channel for VCR use (0 or 9, or AV
channel); check the television instructions and check if the DVD-VCR
player is on this channel. Some televisions react adversely to some copy-
protected video recordings. Try a recording without Macrovision anti-
copy protection (ACP), or a different television.
