When I'm recording off of the tv, sometimes my dvd recorder will get to 60% and it want go any further?

Question

Any ideas? To fix it, I have to unplug it and plug it back it in and then the machine will supposdly repair the disc. Any ideas on why it does that?

Answer 1

Sounds as if the default recording time is set to 1 hour.  Just a guess.  You should change the record time for each show.  You should be able to set it for 1, 2, 4, 6 hours of recording.  It may be identified on your machine by time or as:  sl, lp, xlp or something like this.
