Output to Tape not working
Trying to output to tape using Panasonic DVCpro tape deck and it would not record… I tried different settings, it plays the video on the monitor but the record button doesn’t work… just the stop button keeps blinking. I tried doing it remote/local it still wouldnt output.
Please help!!!
Thank you

It isn’t something stupid like the REC INHIBIT tab is flipped open to prevent recording is it?
And you need to press REC and PLAY at the same time…just in case you aren’t.

What’s the model number on the deck? Some Panasonic deck do not allow ‘automatic’ record functionality.
Also, see this article:

I’ve been using the AJ-HD1200a and have read in the manual that it’s a playback only deck and needs the option equipment installed to add record functionality. I would check that your deck doesn’t have something like that; panasonic also has stupid rec inhibit switches that are on the front of the deck that need to be turned off before you can record (in addition to having the tape’s rec inhibit switch in the correct position).

…and a flashing “Stop” button is usually indicative of a missing reference signal. Do you have a reference signal going into the deck? Also, how are you trying to get your video into the deck and what model deck is it?
