I dubbed a vhs clip to a dvd but it won’t play in any other dvd player.
I guess i have to finalize this dupe, but I’m having problems. Any suggestions?

I bought this same item from another company. The remote did not work. Tech support referred me to customer service. I was on hold an extended time with LOUD BLARING MUSIC. I was told remote was not in stock and I should call back. After several attempts a rep finally took the details and called me a week or so later when the remote was available.

Took us over a month to finally get this working. It’s still not working like I would like it too but at least it is working

Magnavox ZV457MG9 actually has 2 versions:
1. ZV457MG9A manaufactured April, 2009 has a larger remote, records both ATSC broadcasting on VHS tapes and DVDs, output them with an HDMI cable. Setup shows year 2009.
2. ZV457MG9 manufactured in November or in July, 2008 has a smaller remote, records both ATSC broadcasting on VHS tapes and DVDs, VHS tapes output with RCA connections only, setup shows year 2008.
I have both versions and I am happy with both recording PQs and the convenience of recording to both. And of course a lot happier with newer 2009 version with the bigger remote control and the VHS HDMI ouput.
I had a Panasonic DMR-EZ48V before. This Magnavox is not as elite as the Panasonic, however, the ZV457MG9 features (recording to VHS tapes, output VHS to HDMI etc) are better, the remote is more responsive than EZ48K though I like the feel and allocation of the buttons on the EZ are better. Price wise Panasonic price has come down at Costco with ZV457MG9 at a slight advantage.
Funai, a Japanese company made this model and other identical Toshiba, Sylvania models with a different badge and a different casing.
