Managed to suss that out after messing around with the darn thing all
day. One down side already. The other was that sometimes copying your
own VHS archive flags up a copyright protection message and it stops
copying!!! The DV input is also very poor for copying from a VHS, it
keeps putting up a grey screen for a few seconds, which comes out in
the copy!

I got this to replace an old lite-on 3005 that done everything without
a fuss, and I'm starting to regret it.;
