well i finally got it to do something by holding down the button on the 
back and appling power, now i'm trying to import a video from a vcr but 
every once in a while i get green bands and everything goes to hell 
then i need to start fiddling with the button on the back again, so 
much for importing a complete film as a backup. ARGGGGG i hate this 
thing been wishing for years to have one to make all my tapes on cd-r 
before they go bad i think i should have spent the cash (actually my 
dads cash) on a processor upgrade.
