Re: tv tuner / vcr issues

now that i fixed the vcr issue, i got another one. for some reason media
center will not record this one vhs tape. it has some sort of protection on
it that media center detects that stops it from recording the media. do you
know how to disable the protection on the tape? before today i did not even
know that there was any protection on vhs tapes at all. please help.

i am using my media center PC to record vhs tapes to dvd. i have an
external
tv tuner. it is connected to my vcr properly but i seem to get the issue
"vcr lock activated". does anyone know how to fix this? please help. the
vcr
worked just fine the last time it was hooked up to my notebook and when
it
was hooked up to my tv.


Saw this on a search for your model.
