What have you gubbed?
The fair laydee is referring to me....
When I cleared my stepfather's house I brought his VHS to DVD recorder back with me....
However, I managed to leave the remote control - I think I chucked it out....
So, I thought I'd have a go at copying some old tapes... how complex can it be...?
Connect it up to the telly and get a picture!
Firstly, it will only record on DVD+R discs so off to the shop to buy some as I only have DVD-R
Then press the 'one button copy' button and 'hey presto it copies the VHS tape to the DVD....
But you can't actually play the fecking DVD until you go into the setup menu and 'close' it!
And of course the 'setup' button isn't on the front of the machine - it is only on the remote...
Seventeen quid for a remote control!
